Slovak Academy Lets Civilians Fly First Line Jets
Betty Ethell, a 50 year old schoolteacher, joined Slovakia’s International Fighter Pilots Academy to fly modern jets on a former Soviet base. The program, run with Australian businessman Tom Orsos, trains civilians and pilots for $6,000 to $19,000, aims to keep aircraft flying and may lead Slovakia to buy the Su 29 two seat interceptor.
