Looks like the Italian UPT is a go! Some interesting things to note:
-No mention (yet) of a split between AD, ANG, and AFRC UPT students going to fill Italian classes.
-The syllabus is very similar to UPT without the use of the T-6. As a fighter person, you will still do a basic then advanced track but in the same jet.-I would have found it VERY difficult to focus on UPT in a location like Italy. UPT bases are in less desirable locations for a reason, right?
