Moody’s Afghan Air Force A-29 Training Program Ends
Nov. 18, 2020 | By Brian W. Everstine
Moody Air Force Base, Ga., will no longer train Afghan pilots to fly the A-29. Instead, Afghan instructor pilots in Afghanistan will take over training, with that schoolhouse expected to be fully operational by April.
Over the last five years, more than 30 student pilots and 70 maintenance technicians were trained at Moody. The base’s 81st Fighter Squadron, a geographically separated unit assigned to the 14th Flying Training Wing, oversaw initial training for A-29 aircrews, who have gone on to become the foundation of the nascent Afghan Air Force.
