neither the syrians or russians can fly their planes over it. establishing a no-fly zone over syria would cause, this is always been the line for the pentagon. that involves a massive air campaign knocking out a lot of air missiles and they have russians there helping them. you know, one of the things we re learning about this conflict last night when the f-18 shot down the fu-22. an older syrian jet dated a little bit longer. not a huge threat. not really a fair fight. but what happened was that they warned, they ve warned over the deconfliction line. that s a phone conversation with russians. they actually radioed the syrian plane saying get out of here and then perform a maneuver called the head but. it is basically them flying up and over the su-22 and creating what s called wake turbulence. if you remember your top gun might have been something like that. that would have caused the su-22 to shutter. they gave plenty of warnings and

teach the pilots. the reduced oxygen breathing device allows pilots to experience oxygen loss while flying but in the safety of a simulator. as a former f-18 pilot, i give it a try. we can put this mask on and slowly decrease the amount of oxygen that we re getting to simulate as best we can what the pilot would experience. pilots could become dizzy, euphoric or even pass out. i m light-headed. very uncomfortable. can t concentrate. it s been successful in helping people recognize the symptoms before they have a cognitive or loss of consciousness. your heart rate is coming up. one training goal, to recognize the symptoms and pull a green ring, which gives the pilots up to ten minutes of
