MORE: Moody AFB prepares for Afghan pilots

In August of 2014, the Air Force selected Moody as the stateside training location for Afghan A-29 Super Tucano pilots and maintainers.

The Air Force said that Moody would support 20 planes, 17 Air Force instructor pilots, and 24 maintenance and support personnel, to train a total of 30 Afghan pilots and 90 Afghan maintainers over the next four years.

The Air Force said the The 81st Fighter Squadron is a ‘tenant unit’ at Moody AFB, and falls under command of the 14th Operations Group and 14th Flying Training Wing at Columbus AFB, Mississippi.

Lt. Co. Jeffery Hogan assumed command of the fighter squadron in January, and remarked that the Air Force had “never done this mission in this way before, ever.”
