#6  Does Iraq have any frog foot pilots? How do they expect to fly them with no experience and training?

Basic training is this: pull the stick back, the houses get smaller, push it forward, they get bigger. push throttle forward, more noise =faster, pull it back, less noise.

wheels down= less power (noise) needed to taxi.

#3  According to the usually interesting and often factual Wikipedia, the Iraqis basically fly some Russian helos and a bunch of Cessnas. So yeah, 'advisors'.

#1  Russia just delivered the second batch of Sukhoi fighter jets (which will be flown by Iraqi pilots and "are ready to provide air support to the armed forces")

A question to fellow 'burgers:

Does Iraq have any frog foot pilots? How do they expect to fly them with no experience and training?
