The story of the Afghanistan A-29 Forgotten Maintainers is one of promises made but not kept. Brought to the United States to receive education and training on maintaining A-29 fighter jets in October 2014, this group of Afghan men worked side by side with U.S. forces in order to return to Afghanistan prepared to protect their country from oppression. In August 2021, when the Taliban took control of Kabul, all promises made were suddenly forgotten. What follows is a conversation recorded between Russ Pritchard and 3 of the forgotten maintainers still in Afghanistan and still in hiding.
