My guess is she is the daughter of some King or Prince or just plain Billionaire and fits the bill for both MSN and the UAE Govt. for a puff piece on how westernized and decent and swell the UAE is so keep investing your money there. MSN gets a swell piece that fits their portfolio and millions of westerners get dooped that for every one Female fighter pilot in the UAE there are probably thousands of its citizens funneling money into fundamentalist causes. The kind that are killing OUR boys and girls.

Im not getting into Politics here but I have been warning people for a long time there is a vast fundamentalist financial contribution network thru out the Gulf region. Two of the 9/11 terrorists were UAE citizens. One piloted a hijacked airplane into the south tower.

So while I will not say anything about a Lady flying combat missions for a just cause, if in fact she is, but it will take more then one MSN puff piece for me to start thinking its all on the up and up.
that's a lot of time money, and training for a puff piece. Just say'n

No UAE citizen is poor... That said I doubt she is royalty or from a extraordinarily wealthy family. And if it is true that her family (not just other members of her tribe) have disowned her then it is clear that she didn't get to where she is through family connections.
