SBARC Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I stumbled across an excellent video on the first day of the Gulf War Air War. It is well worth checking out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GW8345 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) It's good but not totally accurate. The 2 Mig 21's shot down by the F-18's happened 12 hours after LCDR Speicher was shot down, not before. Also, they did not mention that the Mig's were running from a flight of 8 F-14's on a fighter sweep ahead of the F-18 Strike Group.

SERNAK Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 After Hanoi (also known then as "SAM City") the Bagdad airspace was the most heavily guarded one. Great times! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
