Maybe this one,
Jan 4 1989 two F-14 from squadron VF-32 engaged Libyan MIG-23 Floggers
over the Gulf of Sidra. One kill was with a AIM-7 Sparrow, the other an
AIM-9 Sidewinder. I think the F-14's were flying from the USS John F
Kennedy?

They can see a LONG way off! Couple the onboard

probability of knowing friend from foe.

Ok. So WHY haven't they been used in earnest? In all likely situations,
shorter-distance weapons were used. Prime example is the Lybian
shoot-down.

Which Libyan engagement?
