US vs Libya

<< < (4/4)

Goose:
During the 1991 Persian Gulf War the F-14 Tomcat was kept out of frontline air interception since the Navy information network was not compatible with the USAF system. Tomcats could not receive info from USAF E-3 Sentries like the eagles could. The daily air tasking orders had to be flown out to the carriers. To prevent any blue on blue air interceptions the Mighty Tomcat was relegated to fleet defence and TARPS recce missions.

Valiant1:
Good to know.
