We train Saudi Air Force pilots regularly to fly the birds we sell them
If he’s Saudi Air Force it’s a big deal
Was it jihad or did he wash out and went postal
"Going jihad" and "going postal" are getting harder and harder to differentiate.
Then they should be taught to fly the aircraft they’re buying in their own countries. If not, what happens when one of these religious wack jobs from the Mideast decides to fly a fighter aircraft into high profile targets, like the White House etc...
Was President Trump aware of this training program when he had his recent friendly visit with the Saudis. I don’t know if the MSM will disappear this story. Wonder if he could be one of the extensive bin Laden family in SA? Or maybe a member of a rival family there? At any rate I suspect the Saudis are now busy locking people up and using their torture chambers.
They have to have Saudi pilots that can train them in their own country. If they don't, sell them simulators to use over there, or send someone from here to train them in their own country. They don't need to be here to be trained.
