 File picture of a US F-16 - it is not known where the pilot was from 
 
 A quick-thinking refuelling plane crew saved a fighter pilot who faced having to eject over Islamic State territory. 
 
 The F-16 had been trying to refuel in mid-air when the pilot discovered a malfunction with his fuel system, which meant he could only fly for 15 minutes - nowhere near enough to reach safety. 
 
 Instead of leaving the pilot to cope with the emergency himself, the US Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker crew managed to escort him back to its base while refuelling every 15 minutes to keep the jet in the air. 
 
 US Air Force commander Lt Col Eric Hallberg said: "Over 80% of his total fuel capability was trapped and unusable. 
 
 "Knowing the risks to their own safety, they put the life of the F-16 pilot first and made what could've been an international tragedy a feel-good news story.

 "I'm sure they think it was not a big deal, however, that's because they never want the glory or fame." 
 
 The jet first ran into trouble when it connected to the KC-135 but was forced to disconnect after taking on 500lbs of fuel - just a fifth of the 2,500lbs it should have had. 
 
 After a second failed attempt to refuel, the pilot ran through a checklist and was able to tell the tanker crew about the fuel emergency. 
 
 The Air Force did not reveal where the incident took place or which country the F-16 pilot was from.

 The tanker crew's actions may have saved the airman from a fate like that of Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kassasbeh, who was shown being burned alive in pictures and video by IS extremists after he ejected and was captured. 
 
 The video sparked an international outcry and prompted Jordan to up its involvement in the US-led coalition of 60 nations taking the fight to IS in Iraq and Syria. 
 
 The US and its partners, including Britain, have carried out more than 10,242 strikes against the terror group.
– An F-16 fighter pilot's aircraft suffered a fuel system malfunction at perhaps the worst possible time—flying over ISIS-held territory—but the crew of a military refueling tanker stuck with him, likely saving his life, the Air Force Times reports. "Knowing the risks to their own safety, they put the life of the F-16 pilot first and made what could've been an international tragedy a feel-good news story," Air Force Lt. Col. Eric Hallberg says, per a press release. In the incident that reportedly happened last year, a KC-135 Stratotanker, which can haul up to 200,000 pounds of fuel, was topping off A-10s in the unidentified region when the F-16 came along to gas up. But though the F-16 was supposed to take in 2,500 pounds of fuel, a "pressure disconnect" issue wouldn't allow more than 500 pounds. That's when the KC-135's crew really came to the rescue. Instead of stranding the pilot, the Stratotanker stuck by the F-16's side until it got back to its base, refueling every 15 minutes to keep it airborne. And that pilot would have had ample reason to worry, even if he had safely ejected and landed on the ground, notes Sky News: In December 2014, a Jordanian pilot crashed in Syria and was captured by ISIS members and burned alive. "The first thought I had … was extreme pride for the crew in how they handled the emergency," Hallberg says. "I'm sure they think it was not a big deal. However, that's because they never want the glory or fame." (These Air Force specialists risk their lives to check the weather.)
