CAFTT Mission - Get 'em In the Air!
For all of you Pilots who survived Pilot Training, you'll recognize this....
('Flight of the Valkyries' playing the background) The first of the Iraqi Air Force C-172 Initial Pilot Trainers is inbound to Iraq. This was just taken back in the states as it arrived to be carted up and shipped out here. The first new Iraqi Air Force pilot training school starts 1 October, and these aircraft will help with their initial training.
Might seem little to you, but this is a big step for the Iraqi Air Force.
Next stop, F-16s.

Tony,
Think my eyes would be good enough for their flight training?
