Jimmy Carter’s Illegal Demands On Shah.
A friend of mine, who I have known for many years, was a former fighter pilot in the Iranian Air Force. While serving the Shah, he told me he would fly from Iran to Tel Aviv several times a month for maintenance, or avionics upgrades on the F-4 and F-5 fighters. These flights were always solo, and unarmed, and never had a problem. He stated he loved visiting Tel Aviv, for it’s cleanliness, modernity, and for the hospitality of the Israeli people.
When the revolution came, he decided that since Iran would still need an Air Force, and that it was his homeland, he would stay, unlike so many he knew who fled.
One day, some time after Khomeini took charge, he mentioned to one of his best friends, in private, that he thought the Ayatollah may not be serving the best interest of Iran.
The next day he was arrested, and thrown in a prison in the mountains near the Caspian.
