    Iraqi pilots remove tape off a new Cessna 208 to reveal the Iraqi air force markings on March 29 at Kirkuk Air Base. The Cessna 208 is the advanced fixed wing training aircraft for the Iraqi flying training wing. The Cessna 208 will be the advanced fixed wing training aircraft for the flying training wing. Iraqi students spend approximately six months learning to fly the Cessna 208 and receive pilot wings upon completion of the training syllabus. They then move onto the Iraqi air force's operational aircraft which includes the C-208, Beechcraft King Air, C-130 Hercules or CH-2000. The Iraqi Air Force Flying Training Wing inventory will have a total of five Cessna 208s by the end of 2008. (U.S. Air Force/Senior Master Sgt. Don Senger)
