SIU C Eyes Train Malaysian Military Personnel
SIU C could train Malaysian air force officers in aviation mechanics and electronics this month with a $1 million international grant. About 75 noncommissioned officers would start Aug 27, with later groups in November and January, potentially reaching 270 personnel for FAA certification. The project aims to bolster Malaysia Airlines and regional stability, with training funded by U S aid to Malaysia through SIU C and a Malaysian education foundation.
