Tucked away in a corner of the
flightline area sits Bldg. 1029, home of the 9th Physiological
Support Squadron and one of the most unique operations in the Air
Force. The building houses the Aerospace Physiological Training
Flight, an 18 member flight entrusted with the lives of the pilots
who fly the U-2. As Beale is known as the world's premier high altitude intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance organization, PSPTS plays an important role in providing physiological support to Beale's U-2 pilots. The APTF acquaints pilots and other aircrew with the physiological hazards of high flights by training more than 800 aircrew members each year on topics including oxygen equipment, cabin pressurization, fatigue, stress, rapid and slow decompression and hypoxia. |
