Most of the Kills from air to air were unchallenged attacks. The U.S. Air
Force has yet to meet the aircraft they were designed to fight against. I
believe only one Mig 29 has been shot down and I think that was by a F-14 all
the rest of Iraqs 29's have fled or remain hidden on the ground. Most of the
pilots I believe were trained by soviet advisors in Iraq. You cannot train
courage though. Or maybe there smatter than we give them credit for.
