Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, I am honored to welcome you to the the third annual Future Air Force Conference, which has become a fixture on our Air Force's fall calendar. This conference is a unique opportunity to bring together key Air Force leaders, decision-makers and subject-matter experts from around the world to share their experiences, insights, and visions for the future of military aviation – particularly in one essential area: the training of our Air Force personnel.

Let me warmly welcome you to the third annual Future Air Force 2025 Conference. Over the years, this event has become a key forum for the exchange of knowledge, experience, and vision in the field of military pilot training.
