ISIL terrorist group are training pilots who joined the group to fly in three captured fighter jets

"It was the first time the militant group had taken to the air," the opposition UK-based Syrian Observatory said on Friday.

ISIL has been flying the planes over the captured al-Jarrah Syrian military airport east of Aleppo, said Rami Abdulrahman, who runs the Observatory, citing witnesses in Syria's northern Aleppo province.

The US Central Command has said in a statement that it is not “aware” of any flight operations by the ISIL neither in Syria, nor elsewhere.
