So, I know this is related to several other threads, but I simply want to know what (if anything) Trump is expecting to happen to the planes and helicopters he has ordered to fly across Iran?

What do we think would happen to any Iranian war planes and helicopters were flown over the USA?

Clearly, in both scenarios planes and helicopters are going to be shot at.

Also, where are the Israeli planes?

How long until the fine folk (& I know there are many) of the USA (and military) say “no” to Trumps ever increasing insane demands?

Relief in one way and for all of us wishing him well, but goodness knows what Trump would have done publicity wise with a martyr situation

The missing airman has been rescued by the US thankfully. He was injured but is doing well.
Huge relief for Trump whose unnecessary war caused the situation and put his people's lives at risk.

Ah, that's good to hear. A relief for him - and his family who must've been nerve-wracked wondering about the "what-ifs".

And, dare I say, a relief for many of us who are increasingly alarmed at Trump's outbursts which quite clearly are not the result of reasoned or judicious thinking.

I bet the special operations team who rescued him are feeling pretty thankful it's over too, I know they're highly trained, but still...
