The two iterations I've seen of the "Iraqi UPT" message have always only talked about CH-200s, or that Zel-air airplane...all stuff that looks like they went shopping at OshKosh for their new Air Force.

I'm becoming increasingly interested in this since I'm slated to go to PIT in January and then on to Vance. I've heard one of the pre-req's for this C-172 tour is to have gone through the CFIC. I don't know anyone personally who has been subjected to this and was looking for some first hand info.

The AFPC website -> 365 tdys: shows both locations and what the job entails. That's for real...I've seen the email traffic.
What's not for sure is the rumor that I heard they have well over several hundred billets to fill.

Wow, so the AFPC website does talk about the C-172...and the C-208!
Listing also says that all IPs must be PIT grads or previous FTU instructors.
A quick Google showed this gem from 16 August:

Cessna was awarded a $10.6 million contract for 18 C-172 single-engine piston aircraft for use by the Iraqi Air Force for introductory pilot training. It includes one year of logistics support services in Iraq.
Of the total, $7.5 million has been obligated for eight C-172 aircraft and the one year of support and spare parts. The remaining 10 aircraft are order options that may be purchased at a later date.
Deliveries to Iraq will begin in October and continue through September 2008, the Department of Defense said.
