1. If that is the case then the people have won.

The airforce will win up until tanks roll into the airbase and shut them down.

2. Their AF might want to remember that their planes need to land sometime, lol.

An F-15 is no match for a guy with a rock if the planes are stuck on the ground.

3. This is not unexpected, Mubarak used to run the Air Force... he's a pilot himself

So it's not shocking that the Air Force would support him at this point.

4. Air forces are generally elitist.

Think about it, their 'warriors' are all officers, privileged treatment.
It's almost medieval.

5. Hey Egyptian Air Force you may want to know the US sold the Egyptian Army $1.2 billion of these

Patriot Missile Air Defense System.
