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 |
