#4  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.

I completely understand the impulse.

#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.
