I have known pilots who have, they don't recommend the experience.

Spinal issues tend to be the result.

If this is real, she’s a badass for flying fighter jets, regardless of how she got there. Hat tip to her. Much respect.

That might make sense. Considering Kuwait is using our systems and should have modern IFF systems.

Most likely scenario is that our pilots didn't enable their IFF when entering Kuwait airspace.

Defense system worked as expected, pilots most likely made a mistake

Imagine when you are doing live fire runs. Flipping that switch isn't the first thing you are worried about

Three pilots with three WSOs (F-15E is a two seater) made the same mistake?

We got broads flying f15s in war zones? I thought hegseth was getting rid of this?

If they’re qualified no reason they can’t fight in a non ground combat role.

Maybe comms with home didn't inform their location.

But automated IFF interrogation would have prevented this easily.

It's hard to see how this happen unless the pilots turned off their IFF, and purposefully didn't have it standby mode.

Kuwait would not have the ability to shoot them down unless they refused to respond

In 91/92, I had a Kuwaiti shithead in my class in Bahrain that, when we went into Bosnia, announced, "you Americans are always sticking your noses in other people's business!"

Their oil wells were still burning.

Honkus throwing shade on a US fighter pilot with bigger balls, brain and patriotism than keyboard warrior will ever have.

Try life again. Freedom Mulligan for you thanks to people like that Pilot.
