ISIS Air Arm
(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. |

Until tomorrows news report which will state that the wreckage of the planes are at Al-Jarrah military airport..... |

Just take-off practice then.
What is the range of one of these fully fuelled, I wonder? |
Looks like this is the place: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@36.09.../data=!3m1!1e3
Plenty of what could be Mig 19s on the southern taxiway and 2 L-39 Albatross in the compounds there. |
former Iraqi military officers |
I'd imagine much of ISIS leadership is made up of disenfranchised former Iraqi military CG |
L-39s the most likely aircraft, according to Jane's

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! |
Future ISIS Air Arm?
Shortly to become an Air Stump, I reckon. |
Looks like they've got a MIG-21 too ...

It would take at least a month to read the aircraft husbandry section of the F700 before they got that heap airborne!
|
He doesn't really look like a "Reading the whole F700" kind of guy.
In fact, he'd probably only bother to even kick the tires if they stuck Obama's picture on them. |
I wouldn't worry chaps ... as I'm sure ISIS hasn't got round to creating a MAA as yet :E

Brilliant, send them all up. :ok:
|
At this rate they'll have more aircraft than the RAF by a week on Tuesday.

I wonder if there teaching landings
