They might be able to fly the planes but their life expectancy will be very low.

It won’t change our dominance, those ISIS aircraft will only be targets and easy ones at that.

For every hour those jets are in the air, they require maybe a dozen hours of maintenance. There is no way ISIS is so well equiped and competant they can keep a jet flying.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Swell. Now ISIS is airborne. They only need to learn how to take off.

I wonder if they know how to mount/load and arm ordinance.

Exactly. Our Zoomies are going to love this. Nothing like a little air to air practice in between bombing and strafing runs.

“There is no way ISIS is so well equiped and competant they can keep a jet flying.”
They are likely to use the jets on suicide missions. A really fast fighter bend on a kamikaze mission might penetrate even well protected airspace.

Could we get this on pay per view?

Our Air Force should let those pilots who didn’t make “Ace” in the Gulf Wars, go first.

Our Navy Air Jocks over Iraq, are praying, “Oh Lord, make my day and send a few of these losers after me and my wing man! Amen!”

I wonder if they know how to mount/load and arm ordinance.Somehow, I'm getting a mental image of bombs hanging on the wing, with cell phones duct-taped to them, connected to wires trailing out of the fuse socket.
To: navyblue
It’d be a money maker. :)

There was a Star Trek episode where some stupid Aliens hijacked Jordy. They needed someone smart to run their systems.

And the ISIS aircraft will be hidden out of sight and takeoffs and landings will be hidden from our satellites by secret ISIS Phantom Technology.
Sure.

No one fancied that our passenger airliners would be hijacked and flown into business skyscrapers.
