A kill is a kill? ;-)
Actually it was not the first kill of the war, but the 4th to happen, on the
first day (17 January). Don't know if it is official as of now, but indeed
it was absent from the first official listings I saw.
EF-111A vs Mirage F1
Pilot: James Denton
EWO: Brent Brandon
I remember an F-15C credited with a kill over an Iraqi Pilatus PC-9 *prop
trainer*! No missiles nor gun... the Eagle showed up and the intrepid iraqi
took to the chute.
