On Jan. 11, 2017, Intelligence Online — a professional journal covering the world’s intelligence services — revealed that the pilots of Air Tractor attack planes
flying from Al Khadim air base in Libya are private contractors working
for Erik Prince, the founder of the company formerly known as
Blackwater. War Is Boring’s own sources in Libya confirmed the assertion. Our sources
said that the pilots flying the United Arab Emirates Air Force IOMAX
AT-802 Air Tractors — converted crop-dusters — are mercenaries and aren’t Arabs.
Most of the for-profit aviators are American, according to IOL. Prince denied involvement in the UAE air operations.
