That’s a pretty strong story lol.
Single engine jet time huh...
I remember back in the day pay was $2000/day to fly a Mig in Liberia.
There was also an online video floating around of a mixed nationality mercenary crew on an Mi-24 Hind.

Guess they need air support right now more than needed to use the jet again in the future...
