What are your thoughts on this? Will this be a big threat?

ISIS is in possession of three warplanes in northern Syria, and former Iraqi military officers are training ISIS members to fly them, sources say.

LTC Private RallyPoint Member, I think they would last about 30 seconds (if that) against U.S. and Coalition airplanes. I don't see it as a viable threat. Not at all.

Oh great! Shirley, you're joking. And don't call me Shirley. They intend to actually fly them right, not taxi them all the way to Turkey? Will they actually teach them to land or are these one way express pilots?

I may put off recruitment duty, my goal in life is to shoot down a enemy fighter with a stinger.
