It seems that cowardly death cult ISIS wasn't able to down the heroic Jordanian fighter pilot. CBS news just reported that the pilot's wingman may have accidently released weapons fire, downing the jet as the pilot ejected.
This is sad and just a shame.
However, I just want to point out that the scumbags of ISIS didn't have the strength and power to bring this man down. Like the bottom feeders they are, they just capitalized on the unfortunate incident and through deception tried to portray it as a sign of strength.
Maybe with this knowledge some of the yellow bellies in the U.A.E. that have decided to cower in fear of ISIS can find the testicular fortitude to get up off their knees.
U.S. officials say the executed Jordanian pilot may have been accidentally shot down by his own wingman. Charlie D'Agata reports.
The Jordanian government and U.S. Central Command described the incident as an aircraft crash and adamantly stated that it was not shot down by ISIS.

“A Jordanian F-16 aircraft crashed in the vicinity of the northern Syrian city of Ar-Raqqah on Wednesday and the pilot has been taken captive by ISIL forces,” U.S. Central Command said several hours after the plane went down. “Evidence clearly indicates that [ISIS] did not down the aircraft as the terrorist organization is claiming.”

There are several different rebel groups in and around Syria, not just ISIS.

The F-11 Tiger is noted for being the first jet aircraft to shoot itself down.[3] On 21 September 1956, during a test-firing of its 20 mm (.79 in) cannons, pilot Tom Attridge fired two bursts midway through a shallow dive. As the velocity andtrajectory of the cannon rounds decayed, they ultimately crossed paths with the Tiger as it continued its descent, disabling it and forcing Attridge to crash-land the aircraft; he survived.[4][5]
