FB111 flight simulator

The FB111 Flight Simulator unit was established during the 1970s to support training for aircrews assigned to the General Dynamics FB-111A strategic bomber, a key asset in the United States Air Force’s Strategic Air Command. The simulator provided realistic training environments, allowing pilots and navigators to practice complex bombing missions, electronic warfare, and emergency procedures without risking actual aircraft or crew. Over the years, advancements in simulator technology increased training effectiveness and contributed to the operational readiness of FB-111A squadrons. With the eventual retirement of the FB-111A in the early 1990s, the flight simulator unit was decommissioned, having played a vital role in preparing crews for Cold War deterrence missions.
