It was an unforgettable flight. Carl Gustafson, a First Officer with Jet Blue Airways out of Long Beach and a volunteer at Flabob Airport, got a little more excitement than he anticipated in flying a Cessna Skylane to Shindand, Afghanistan. Gustafson was one of a flight of three that helped launch a new Afghan Air Force. He was joined by professional ferry pilot Brian Quindt and retired Delta pilot, Jeff Hall, who also flew Cessna Skylanes halfway around the world. The three Cessna T182T’s will be used as primary trainers by the Afghans. They will eventually be joined by three other T182T’s and 28 Grand Caravans, all part of an $88.5 million U.S. grant to the Afghan military. This marks the first time Afghanistan has had its own flight training operation.
