Female UAE F16 Pilot
 
BBC News - Islamic State crisis: UAE female pilot in air strikes

Good on her but I would not want my name and face splashed around the media advertising the fact. Am I now guilty of the same thing though?!

BV:ooh:

Oh, the irony... I bet it's driving the flea-ridden, filthy scum into a frenzy knowing a lowly female is vapourising the ba$tards!
More power to her elbow!

Bob

Her altitude is most likely if some nutter bumps her off, 'Inshallah'. The UAE ambassador to the US was on MSNBC Yesterday morning and confirmed that she lead the UAE unit that did the first attack and the USAF KC-135 tanker crew she made contact with were gobsmacked for around 20 seconds when a female voice came up on the net from a UAE aircraft. The UAE have correctly identified that the knowledge of her active role in the conflict is a major plus point in overcoming the left wing view that the Arab side of the coalition is as bad as the ISIL. I hope she gets to kills the rapist scum in their hundreds.

Sadly also advertising such things makes her a high value target in her own country.

Yes - not very good Opsec - the entire group of UAE drivers were photographed together yesterday; no faces obscured etc.

The UAE photos are from a while back when the world press were invited to see Maj al-Mansouri at work on the coal face.

Saudi on the other hand issued photos of the aircrew involved taken on the date from the day of the first attack.

Good to see this, quite frankly:

Ah - thanks; I may have confused the two.
And now I read that two fools on Fox in the US mocked this officer?!

Beneath contempt.

Tartare

Totally concur, not funny at all.

Yeeesss - a few fat old guys and a skinny weed trying to be funny.
Guess what fellas - she was smart enough and tough enough to end up sitting in a fast jet.
Let's see you pencil-necks pull 6g's in a turn without either fainting or puking your guts out. :E

For an additional kick in the nuts, can we stick Jihadi John directly behind her tail pipe on take off? Full afterburner.

By the way, where is her weapon? Or don't the UAEAF issue their FJ pilots with side arms while on ops?

The Stimulator 26th Sep 2014 03:27

As the caption shows Typhoon93, the photos on the BBC of the 4 UAE pilots were taken earlier, not during this period on ops, which would explain no sidearm.

Typhoon93 26th Sep 2014 03:51

Ah, I didn't read the caption. Thanks.

Wander00 26th Sep 2014 08:05

Guys on the TV show should be sacked. She is really is bravest amongst the brave. Let's hope she and all the others get through safely

Tankertrashnav 26th Sep 2014 08:28

We in the West rightly condemn the attitudes to women prevalent in the Middle East, and then a few morons sitting in a Fox TV studio come up with remarks like this.

Totally pathetic!

Typhoon93 26th Sep 2014 08:49

Tanker, they are probably failed fighter pilots and are jealous that their snail like reactions failed them for flying anything more advanced than a paper aeroplane. Ignore journalists!

Minnie Burner 26th Sep 2014 10:26

FOX Broadcasting
 
Just another Murdoch institution which should be publicly nuked.
These people should be horse-whipped. Or dealt with by ISIL.

stilton 26th Sep 2014 10:33

Pretty typical for Fox 'news'.



Shame they trashed the female reporters positive coverage of the story though.



They are not taken seriously over here by any one with more than half a brain cell.

Rotor Kop 26th Sep 2014 10:38

Not sure what the BIG hu ha is about about a female flying??? It just proves that they are a lesser being by all the media coverage they get for anything remotely difficult to obtain ............. same applies to our BEE lot...............:cool:
