From Air & Space Forces Magazine:
The only Air Force unit that trains foreign pilots how to fly F-16s is tucked away in a small section of this modest commercial airport here in Tucson.
The 162nd Wing has been training foreign pilots for decades, ever since the Netherlands agreed to send its Airmen here in 1989. By now, the wing has trained pilots from over two dozen countries to become expert operators on the Fighting Falcon. Next up, are the first Ukrainian pilots who quietly began training here this fall.
