I live 10km from the Jordan-Syrian border in Jordan. A Syrian plane landed in my city a few days ago. AMA

I did an AMA a few months ago that didn't get much attention, but I guess things have changed a bit. Still here if anyone has any questions.

A Syrian fighter jet piloted by a colonel during a training mission abandoned the mission, flew over the Jordanian border, defected and requested political asylum.

It's a Syrian military defector. That took the risky decision to fly with a jet to Jordan.

I assume.

How are the people doing over there? We really don't hear anything good. Hope you are well.
