At Randolph field in San Antonio, Texas, a ground-boun- d is being installed on concrete pedestals in a manner permitting simulation of take-of- f, level flight and landing, and of mishaps which may occur in the air. The new instructional trainer,' called "captivair training," will be operated by. a crew in the trainer while 120 students sit in sound-proclassrooms and observe the reactions of the duplicate control columns and instrument responses. Col. T. B. Holliday, chief of the ATSC equipment laboratory, which guided development of the B-trainer, stated: "War-weaaircraft are utilized at a total cost of approximately $500,000 and will be ready for operations by early fall." Advantages Of New Trainer "The new trainer has distinct advantages over older training methods," declared Col. Holliday. "It "enables air crews to become thoroughly familiarized with the intricacies of the big air battleships, and (2) It permits continuous round the clock training in 'all kinds of weather, whereas previously inclement weather grounded the big planes." Col. Holliday concluded, "the training eliminates the risk in volved in actual flight when green crews take over the con- B-1- 7's B-2- 4's B-2- B-- 29 of 29 -- ."v. oilier now 1.1 sists of a B-2- t uri aJ mountei sirucuon at San 9 large shelter with rooms and an instruct "Checking out" is do B-itself where crew including pilot, co flight engineer sit at yci siauons and perl iunctions necessary to buperfortress "airbori Dring it back to earth.
