Gerald Eddie Brown Jr., a 65-year-old retired U.S. Air Force major and former F-35 instructor pilot, was arrested on February 26, 2026, in Jeffersonville, Indiana, for allegedly training Chinese military pilots in combat aircraft operations without authorization.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI, Brown conspired with foreign nationals to provide defense servicesincluding sensitive combat tactics and flight proceduresto the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). He traveled to China in December 2023 and remained there for over two years, reportedly conducting training sessions that included insights into U.S. fighter jet operations, nuclear delivery systems, and air combat doctrine.
Brown, who served 24 years in the U.S. Air Force and flew advanced aircraft like the F-15, F-16, and A-10, is accused of violating the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Prosecutors allege he used intermediaries, including Stephen Su Bin, a Chinese national previously convicted of stealing U.S. military data, to arrange the training.
The case highlights growing U.S. concerns over foreign recruitment of retired military personnel. Officials warn that even simulator-based instruction can provide adversaries with valuable tactical insights into U.S. combat strategies. Brown is expected to face federal charges and could face significant prison time if convicted.
