The same pilots that fly the F-16 fighter.
They have been operating US supplied F-16s since 1983. The same package deal for F-16 conversion will be provided by the Russians for the MiG-29s.
He has pilots already since he's been using them to attack sites in columbia on behalf of FARC. Different aircraft, but he will have people trained for the MiG-29s. In the meantime he can use Cubans as he has in other cases. He prefers Cubans to Venezuelans because he can trust them more. Cuba is a terrorist- backing country we should have taken out a long, long time ago, but couldn't because of folks like Dellums, Harkin, Kerry and Kennedy.
