Officialy Big/ College Eye have been credited with participating on 25
kills. So far I have been able to identify only 17, see bellow:


What exactly (or roughly) constitutes "participating?" I'd think that
EC-121s "participated" in most if not all kills simply from the POV of
making "yellow/red" MiG warnings, even before the improvements in EID
of specific MiG types.


The number 25 was given on 552nd web-page among with other statistic
info. Sadly conditions for "participing" were not specified.
As I understand it, participing should include vectoring own fighters
to attack VPAF MiGs. Not only "full service" vectoring to the point
when radar or visual contact could be made, but also kills when
initiall info of MiG position led to the consequent searching made by
US fighter crews alone and finished with a kill.

6. 26.10.1967; 555/ 8 TFW; F-4D; J. Longeman Jr./ J. McCoy; MiG-21;
EC-121D+QRC-248


Minor typo, it's J Logeman not Longeman...

9. 5.2.1968; 14/ 432 TFW; F-4D; R. Hill/ B. Huneke; MiG-21;


Minor typo, it's 13/432 TRW...the 14th was an RF-4C squadron


Thanks for corrections, have to check my files.
Any additions to my list?

Cheers
Ivan
