@fanuc2013 From reports I have seen the F 15 was destroyed over Iran. The helicopters were hit but made it back to Iraq. The A 10 is at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. The KC 135 squawked Emergency and landed in Israel. The F 16 disappeared over Saudi Arabia. Reports say that only the Weapons Officer in the F 15 is still missing although the fate of the pilot whose plane disappeared over Saudi Arabia is unknown.
