Dave Williams Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Very sad. I live less than a mile from the airport. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southwestforests Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) War isn't funny but that is funny about one taking out a MiG-15! 🤣 And a little Googling finds it was a 17. https://theaviationgeekclub.com/ov-1-vs-mig-17-story-mohawk-became-mig-killer/ and Avgeekery Exclusive: MiG-Killing Army OV-1 Mohawk Pilot Ken Lee July 22, 2018 7 minute read Bill Walton https://www.avgeekery.com/avgeekery-exclusive-mig-killing-army-ov-1-mohawk-pilot-ken-lee/ Talk about stupid asinine crap, aren't those adults and not teenage egocentric mean girls who run the military? Quote Because the Army wanted to avoid any issues the Air Force might have had with a Mohawk or any other Army aircraft shooting down a MiG, Lee and his wingman were ordered to keep his victory quiet. In truth he didn’t really know for certain he had shot the MiG down. Either way Ken never received either credit for the MiG or any kind of recognition- from the Army anyway.

midnightprowler Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 He sure came down at a steep angle. I wonder what happened. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Egocentric adults. Shame about the loss of the pilot and plane. We have an OV-1 at the San Marcos, TX airport. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
