NHL athlete trains like an F-16 Viper pilot

Capt. Patrick Mayfield, right, 314th Fighter Squadron instructor pilot, and Scott Mayfield, NHL New York Islanders hockey player, walk to the F-16 Viper prior to a familiarization flight, Aug. 4, 2021, on Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. One of Holloman’s newest assets that Scott visited was the Optimizing and Human Weapons System facility where he learned how to prepare for the stresses a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot endures in flight.
