Yes one would think so

Typical lazy journalist calling him a student

I did finally find a source describing him a member of the Saudi military

My response is a statement of what is, not an endorsement of that.

We sell arms to the Saudis amongst many other nations. When you sell a system, be it aircraft, ships, or tanks, the purchaser usually wont buy unless they are assured some training to go along with it. Otherwise the sale is pretty useless. So thats going to be part of your answer. The other part of your answer is that as part of our defense partnerships with other countries, we offer to cross train or allow cross tours, so that if and when we have to fight alongside each other, we have people who understand the way we coordinate to make a combined op successful.

I am pretty certain that answer does not satisfy your question. Again, I am not endorsing every case of it. But that is the answer.

Given how two-faced the majority of our European NATO allies have become, it’s becoming tough to see the Saudis (who have not insulted, impugned, or tried to help overthrow Trump as have our European “allies” have) are any worse of a threat.

Was he shouting Allahu Akbar?

The Ministry of Propaganda has helpfully advised us that means “this has nothing to do with Islam”.

But you are correct

“Saudi aviation student” should remind us all of those “Saudi aviation students” who ended up flying planes on 9/11........

But alas our leaders say the Saudis are our allies and friends.......

Obama? He’s not the one who set the tone.

Then they should be taught to fly the aircraft they’re buying in their own countries. If not, what happens when one of these religious wack jobs from the Mideast decides to fly a fighter aircraft into high profile targets, like the White House etc...

Why was an aviation student from Saudi Arabia allowed to be armed on a military base in the first place?

Perhaps we might consider screening foreigners more closely.

Extensive pilot and tech support training has to be included when selling military aircraft and civilian airliners.
