Observers have seen fighter jets practicing take offs and landings at the captured airport in Syria, near Aleppo. The airport was captured a couple of weeks ago and there were fighter jets there.
The trainers are believed to be pilots who flew during Saddam Hussein's era. It is not yet known if the planes are flying with weapons or not. The jet aircraft are Mig 21s and MiG 23s – Russian-made aircraft.
