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.

Swell. Now ISIS is airborne. They only need to learn how to take off.

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

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.

A pilot smart enough to fly a fighter jet for ISIS is a pilot smart enough to know he will have an extremely short life expectancy.

Maybe the Israelis could give them some flying lessons.

Why is their runway not cratered and the planes not smoking ruins?

America and its coalition partners executing air strikes in Iraq and Syria currently enjoy total dominance in the skies over the so-called Islamic State. That may soon change.

Really? That's going to change because of 3 lousy MIGs flown by ragheads who barely know how to wipe their own butts?

I would put this at the bottom of the list of Things To Worry About On Planet Earth.

why haven’t those planes been destroyed by the US air operation - seems like an easy and prime target.

And they are learning how to deliver biological agents...woohoo!
