Youtube video and breakdown of what really happened. The fact that CAG never gave any feedback after warning yellow weapons hold is odd.... I guess this was just and early FAFO
The day 2 Navy Tomcats shot down 2 Libyan migs, lots of debate on whether they were justified

I might give a shite about clicking on the link if your thread wasn't full of abbreviations.

Was working in a comm center when this happened - it was pretty exciting and surreal at the same time.

Stark incident may have had a bigger role than the 1967 incident. I know on our deployment a month later the yellow and gold was very common.

I had a pretty good seat of when devil 101 splashed a phantom in 87. Thought it was odd air crew had USAF flight suits….. well we soon found out

Holy shite. He saw the F4 sipping off the KC135.
Total BS that he thought a rogue actor could marry up to a gas station.
I’d never heard of this.

Well it was only 3 years after the Libyans killed a bunch of GIs in Berlin. Things were as spicy as they’d been in a while and Momar Quadahfi was feeling his oats.

Still proudly wore those Naval Aviator wings until the very end of his career.

He was at Tulane when I was at LSU, we dated girls from same circle of friends. He was an arrogant prick. I was good friends with an Aggie pilot from another squadron whose only comment was “I’m glad devils got him and not us”. His dad had a blue on blue kill too.
