Disappointed at the lack of "20 minuters" references
Get inside her 5 times a day and take her to heaven and back
They also supposedly have chemical weapons, I don't think anyone is concerned they might use their jets to defend against air strikes.

The second they get in those planes, they're dead.
In a situation like this? Absolutely. Having a highly visible and orthodox method of attack is what ISIS very specifically doesn't want. America's military is prepared very extensively for this kind of stuff. This is a fucking breeze in comparison to uprooting a guerrilla terrorist organization from a group of civilians.
If they want to try and attack with this kind of strategy? Let 'em. Those planes will get torn apart the second they hit the air. The military could even destroy them before they leave the tarmac, but what's the fun in that?

I don't see them attempting to develop a competitive pseudo-conventional air force, rather I think it's more likely that they could use what they have for suicide attacks.

Will be like watching your average battlefield pilot taking off lulz

I'd consider them being able to take off a huge fluke.
They wouldn't survive long at all.

The US Air Force hasn't had anything to shoot down in like 20 years? They would probably let the ISIS pilot take off just for the chance to do it.

Isis is Microsoft flight Sim certified
I could almost see our military allowing ISIS planes into the air just to give our pilots some easy kills. When was the last time any of them had a chance to score some real air to air kills? That's massive bragging points for those guys and gals.
But, more likely, they would blow the planes to hell while they're on the ground, and whatever facilities are used to maintain them. Airfields tend to be pretty visible targets.
But the point is moot because this is probably blown out of proportion and they more likely have nothing of the sort. If they did, it would just be a massive waste of money and time.

Isn't there one where they use vintage warplanes. This fits the scenario better

Iron Eagle 3, the Japanese ww2 pilot was awesome.
Damn he took out a jet from another plane using a grenade launcher. Suck on that expendables.

Target practise
They'll probably just drive em around and shoot missiles. Plane-tank.
The rank and file fighters? I can believe, but the officers I believer are pretty smart and dangerous.
Takeoff will probably look something similar to this:
What the hell... where did this happen and how many people died?

The thing is, even for really smart, really capable, really sane people, fielding a modern air force is an incredibly difficult task. Members of ISIL very rarely satisfy more than 2 of the above criteria at a time
Afghanistan. Cargo shift. 7 dead.

Really horrific stuff actually.

Iraq had the largest air force in the region (500+) during the Persian Gulf War. Additionally, their air force had extensive training and experience because of the Iraq-Iran conflict.
Tell me, how did that work out for them?

Where's the cup holder? What a piece of shit.
Not something I want a crash course in.
The only threat is turning them into a kamikaze type deal to do some damage somewhere they otherwise would not get near.
Even that is a long shot. The luckiest break ISIS ever had was that its main opponents are arab national armies. A kurdish militia of women and old men has grinded them to a standstill in kobane for the past month (US air strikes up until 4 days ago were pinpricks, 2-4 a day if that).
Without constant expansion, the ISIS myth starts to whither. Expect them to flail around, try to consolidate Anbar, and then begin the long unraveling.

3 jets?
Is that enough to create hype for a Top Gun 2?
Time for Top Gun sequel!

And I have a bunch of knives in my kitchen but that doesn't make me a master samurai. The flies hovering over the dog shit on the side of the street pose a bigger threat than those monkeys lmfao.
