Survival course shows why flights divert, train over countryside

U.S. Air Force aircrew jump into 4-foot waves generated in a specialized facility at the Lowestoft College pool in Lowestoft, England, during a water survival training course led by U.S. Air Force survival training experts May 22, 2014.

Ultimately, this shift may lead to increased aircraft noise heard by U.K. communities. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Erin O’Shea/Released)
