The American pilot missing in Iran 19:53 - Apr 4 with 2227 viewspointofblue

I can't help but feel the Iranians already have them, but are trying to work out the best way to use the hostage situation in their favour. I believe I read earlier in the week bombing has halted/reduced in the regions whilst the search takes place.

Plus I have no idea how Trump and Hesgeth will react if the pilot is in Iranian custody. They're as likely to carpet bomb the country, blaming the pilot for being caught, than try and negotiate a release.

Is there some definitive version of what happened, was he hiding in a crevice up a mountain as per Grizzly's link, protected by locals or something else?


There appears to be a version for whichever side of the war you are on.

The whole story to support the rescue of one pilot makes no sense and the idea this was a ‘test’ invasion gone wrong makes much more sense, especially given the incompetence of the current leadership in the US

It shows how weak the regime in Iran is, that despite offering a life changing reward for the pilot's capture, normal Iranian folks sheltered him for 48 hours giving them a chance of rescue.


From what I’ve heard, the Americans essentially built an operating station within Iran to conduct the rescue from there. They then destroyed a number of aircraft on evac as some went out on ground likely back into Iraq / Kuwait.

It gets more surreal. That’s a lot of aircraft to rescue 1 person

More info this morning. If true, their story is unravelling.

And who takes their Amex onto the battlefield?

Decent air miles earned on C-130’s I heard.

By all accounts she has a fairly well known USAF father.

"Hello Amex Customer Services.

You've lost your card? Where? On an Iranian nuclear site. Ok..."

Yes, her safety and that of her family is severely compromised now from retaliatory attacks of course too.
