The actions of Captain Alfred C. Haynes and the crew of United Airlines Flight 232 are often cited as an exemplar of good airmanship.

A "failure of airmanship" was also cited by U.S. Military Authorities in the Tarnak Farm incident in Afghanistan, where the pilot of a U.S. F-16 Fighting Falcon mistakenly targeted a 250-kilogram laser-guided bomb on Canadian troops in April 2003, killing four of them.
Before taking on their roles, the new ATOs underwent survival, evasion, resistance and escape (SERE) training, physical conditioning, various airmanship programs, field training at Jacks Valley and audited academic courses.
The 2-33 was adopted by the United States Air Force Academy as the TG-4, for use in introductory airmanship training.
