A blast from the past. Two Lebanese pilots under training with the Royal Air Force in 1960. I don't know what happened to them. Lebanon must have been a fairly dangerous place to fly around then.

Oh!! Horror of horrors, we can't have them flying those.....

One wonders if those selected to fly the new aircraft will be selected from the remaining members of the extant Lebanese Air Force, or Hezbullah......

Russia to give Lebanon 10 MiG fighters
AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE - MOSCOW, Dec 17, 2008

Russia is to deliver to Lebanon 10 MiG fighter jets for free, the head of the Russian defense cooperation body said Wednesday.

"Russia's defense ministry has decided to deliver to Lebanon, as part of defense cooperation, 10 MiG-29 fighter jets from our existing contingent," the Interfax news agency quoted Mikhail Dmitriyev as saying.

Delivery would be paid for by the Russian defense ministry, he confirmed.

"Military-technical assistance, this means assistance in budgetary funds," he said.

No matter how many times we have to say that Lebanese army weapons don't end up with any militant group, some people will still chose to believe otherwise.

Here's a quote from a recent article:

"Lebanese take care of their equipment," Straub noted, "because it has been hard to come by for them." He also said the Lebanese record on safeguarding American equipment "is impeccable."

This comes from a Pentagon official but I doubt that it will make any difference for your likes (no offense).
