***I think it was Ret. Gen Holt that mentioned early on that the WIZZO had been picked up. My suspicion is that our guys were playing the Irans***

Interesting - although a bit of a leap that they would mislead the American people for very long. 🤔❓

The Israelis have reported most of today that the downed air weapons officer is 'in contact' with the American military... Whatever the situation, I pray our service man is secure and safe. 🙏🙏🙏

The U.S. Air Force F-15E weapon systems officer has been recovered alive after ejecting over Iran yesterday, journalist Jack Murphy reports.

He said the WSO was evading capture on the ground as Iranian forces searched the area, with a “massive firefight” reported at the recovery site.

Murphy is a journalist and military commentator who previously served in U.S. Army Special Operations (including as a Green Beret). He is the co-founder of The High Side, hosts The Team House podcast, and reports on national security and covert operations.

Crowds of curious Iranians allegedly rushed to a village near Koohdasht to see the downed American F-15 pilot barricaded in a house.

The U.S. Air Force reportedly hit them with airstrikes.

Dozens wounded, families now rushing to the hospital... That's the brutality of war in full display.

If you're between fighters and their targets, you're just a casualty.

looks like Gen. Holt’s only statement was that they both survived. No mention of being picked-up.
The FB statement by 77 WABC Radio appears to be wrong.
