The U.S. Department of Justice announced the arrest of a former Air Force pilot for training Chinese pilots without authorization. The statement said he is accused of 'conspiring with foreign citizens to train pilots in the Chinese Air Force to fly fighter jets' without obtaining the required license from the U.S. Department of State. FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on the social media platform X: 'Top story... the FBI and its partners arrest a former Air Force pilot.' Gerald Brown, 65, was arrested in Indiana after recently returning to the United States from China, where he had been since December 2023.
