I don't think a B-50 ever dropped a bomb in anger. An F11F did shoot itself down accidentally by diving through the path of its own shells, but I don't think that counts as a shooting war. Jack "Tex Houston" wrote in message ... "Jack G" wrote in message ... Just did a quick read, may have missed these: Boeing B-50 Grumman F11F Tiger Jack 421ARS operated the KB-50J from Yokota 1960-Oct 1964 including operating a Detachment at Takhli. Tex RB-50s did return fire on several occasions when jumped in international airspace by MiGs, and the MiGs opened fire. That's combat by anyone's definition.
