Capt. Adam Lohn, U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine flight commander, shows NASCAR driver, Darrell “Bubba” Wallace Jr., the unit’s Centrifuge in motion through a display window during a tour of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, Sept. 7, 2018. The purpose of the Centrifuge is to provide optimum physical conditioning, appropriate functioning of anti-G equipment, and adequate G-oriented situational awareness for aircrew G-tolerance.
