8:31Now PlayingIain Dale is joined by Sean Bell, former RAF jet pilot and military analyst. The pair discuss latest overnight news of the US-Iran war, involving a missing US crew member being rescued.
Sean also details what it's like to be in the situation of using the ejection handle in combat and the procedure of evading capture afterwards.
The mission to find the second F-15 crew member had been ongoing for almost three days after the US aircraft was shot down on Friday while undertaking military operations in Iran.
Iran and the US were in a desperate race to locate the crew member, with Iranian officials offering a "precious prize" for the pilot's capture, with some reports claiming anyone who is able to find the US airman would be given $60,000.
The rescue operations were the first time in military memory that two American pilots had been retrieved separately from inside enemy territory.
Trump said the US rescued both airmen “without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded”.
