MO ANG pilot returns to flight with one eye
U.S. Air Force Maj. Ed Fattmann, a pilot assigned to the 180th Airlift Squadron, Missouri Air National Guard, takes his first flight as an aircraft commander with one eye, above St. Joseph, Missouri, Sept. 4, 2019. Fattman has been a pilot with the 180th AS since 2009, but was put on ‘duty not including flying’, status after losing sight in his right eye from a firework misfire in 2012. For his first flight back in military status, he flew with his original crew from his first deployment to Afghanistan in 2010. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Tech. Sgt. Patrick Evenson)
