#1 The USA has a lot of recently retired models. I don’t know how easy it is to operate. I think for the Afghan Air Force it’s best to keep things as simple as possible.

#2 I'd rather see notices of graduates of the maintenance personnel.

#3 I assume this training happened in country. There was a problem with trainees disappearing from the program when it was run here in the US.
