I see the article mentions flight safety, but doesn't address the issue of whether or not you have to learn how to land an aircraft or simply how to take off and fly it.
In light of all that's occurred since 9/11, this is not the best course of study they could have offered.

Come on now. Come on now. Have some respect. Come on now. Show some maturity. come on now. But really, though, did you hear that it is twice as easy to train Iraqi fighter pilots? You only have to teach them to take off.

the awkward silence is disturbing.
