	Sure...why not remember the fact that in all these wars the US-made 
	planes had US pilots, not just some Neverneverlandish pilot _trained_ 
	by the US. And how many times has it been a case of a dog-fight between
	Soviet and US pilots ? I wouldn't bet too much on some Libyan pilots,
	who aren't known to be any outstanding aces...

	(this is not a flame) , please don't make those articles sound like 
	from the movie Top Gun..it's always good to trust your owns, but 
	overwhelming patriotism disturbs me..(ok, now I got someones flame-
	machines on;)
