Vietnamese Licensing
Looking at doing some training with some pilots from the Vietnamese Navy, and have been told there is NO Vietnamese Civilian License these folks could convert to prior to arriving on our shores (would greatly facilitate the program!). Is this true? Can anyone currently flying in Vietnam confirm that all local pilots are flying on a military "wings" certification? Vietnam is an ICAO signatory, and I find it hard to believe there does not exist a civilian license.
Cheers.

Training for non-recreational purposes. Sorry, can't say which type. VFR only training, and yup, the language issue is currently one of my biggest concerns!!
I still can't believe that crews could fly an ICAO carrier on a military 'wings' certification...

You were asking about military pilots. Civil aviation is an entirely separate game.
All the pilots - Vietnamese or foreign - flying for Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines, VASCO or the one privately owned business aircraft in Vietnam, all have Vietnam civil pilot licenses.
"...I still can't believe..." is a very commonly heard expression uttered by many western folks in this part of the world, much the same as is a popular form of exercise.
Thanks for the help...
