Chief Warrant Officer Alton Campbell shows Royal Air Force Squadron Leader Neil Cook the cockpit of a Bell Jet Ranger 206B after it passed a government acceptance inspection, Dec. 4, at Kirkuk Regional Air Base, Iraq. Campbell is the security and training management organization action team chief. Cook is from Multi-National Force - Iraq and is part of the Coalition Air Force Transition Team A7. A total of five Jet Rangers arrived on board a C-17 Globemaster III, Dec. 3. The rotary aircraft were shipped over from the United States, where they were converted, from multiple sources such as commercial use, to military use to be used as trainers for the Iraqi air force. They will later be joined by five other Jet Rangers from Taji, Iraq, to help establish the Iraqi Air Force Squadron 2. According to the security and training management organization the arrival of the aircraft is another step forward for rebuilding the Iraqi air force and training their next generation rotary pilots.
