Yemen's Air Force Is In Disarray | AVIATION WEEK
...as the Al Qaeda insurgency boils over in southern Yemen, the majority of the country’s air force is not currently involved in counterterrorism operations or even flying regular air patrols. Rather, many top air force officers and pilots are sitting in makeshift tents in the capital, Sanaa, demanding the removal of the air force commander, who they say has systematically destroyed the service.
Yemen hardly has a functioning army, forget about the air force. The Saudis are really doing most of the aerial bombardments on rebel strongholds along with US piloted UAVs.
