There is always one....Marine Aviator faces extradition over training enemy pilots...

 via Aerotime

A former United States Marine Corps (USMC) pilot and flight instructor who worked several years in China faces extradition from Australia to the United States at the request of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). 


Daniel Edmund Duggan was arrested on October 21, 2022, in the Australian city of Orange, New South Wales, Reuters reported, citing court records and police sources. Though the nature of the charges against him was not officially disclosed, Duggan’s arrest reportedly followed a request from the FBI regarding work he carried out in China. 


Duggan formerly flew Hawker Harrier vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft in the USMC and was also an air combat instructor.  


He then moved to Australia where he founded Top Gun Australia (also referred to as Top Gun Tasmania), a company that offers civilians to fly on military trainer jets. According to its website, the company flies the BAC Jet Provost formerly used by the British Royal Air Force, and the Nanchang CJ-6 still used to this day by China’s People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). 


The former fighter pilot is still listed on LinkedIn as the Managing Director of AVIBIZ Limited in Qingdao, China. The company is defined as a “comprehensive aviation consultancy company with a focus on the fast growing and dynamic Chinese Aviation Industry”.

Greed is a terrible thing.   

Knowingly training the enemy to kill your countrymen?

That's worse.
