(CNN) -- ISIS is in possession of three warplanes in northern Syria, and former Iraqi military officers are training members of the Sunni Islamist militant group to fly them, a Syrian opposition group said Friday.
The planes are at the Al-Jarrah military airport east of the contested city of Aleppo, the London-based Syrian opposition group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports.

I'd imagine much of ISIS leadership is made up of disenfranchised former Iraqi military

The only real fight will be in plans; the mudmovers will want to bomb them and the AD pukes will want to shoot them down!
May I suggest the latter will look better on the 6 O'Clock news!

Abandoned when the existing Iraqi Army was disbanded and then you have Sunni via Shia - and I suspect they are getting the nutters to do the dying for them
