Naval flight training resumes for Saudi students

Via Courtney Mabeus in navytimes.com: Saudi Arabian students resumed Navy flight training Tuesday, nearly three months after a massacre at Naval Air Station Pensacola by one of their comrades left three dead in a shooting that U.S. leaders linked to terrorism. Saudi Royal Air and Naval Forces officers in the Navy’s flight training pipeline were restricted to classroom studies or put those studies on hold while the sea service met new requirements on base access and vetting for international military students put in place by the Secretary of Defense following the Dec. 6 shooting by Saudi Royal Air Force 2nd Lt. Mohammed Alshamrani.
