Perhaps even more confusing for the rebels trying to distinguish Gadaffi planes from our own (and under a stressful panic as the planes get closer)
And didn't the rebels also have or got their hands on some aircraft? Thought I heard that about a week and a half ago.
I read that too but it never got into the MSM. There's an airport in Benghazi that may also have had some Libyan military planes but I'm guessing. Benghzi’s a port so it may have naval craft. I know when the revolt started there were pockets of pro-Qaadafi security people in Benghzi fighting off the rebels with antiaircraft guns. Egypt is supposedly smuggling weapons into the rebels. They may have supplied them with Stingers or something more sophisticated than SA-14’s or whatever they've been using out in the desert without much luck.
