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? Patrick student SPL aircraft structural mech "john smith" wrote in message ... In article , Thomas Borchert wrote: John, They can see a LONG way off! Couple the onboard sensors with airborne C&C AWACs and you are going to have a very high 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?
