Happy to post them. I love some of the paint jobs and flags that went into battle.

It is one of the better ones as far as giving the equipment losses.

Here in the UK it's known as the Iraq War. (With Gulf War being used for the conflict of 1990/91.)

Wiki mentions one coalition aircraft lost in aerial combat but refering link is dead.
Never heard of such fact, anyone knows some details?

The squadron made three deployments with Saratoga between 1990 and 1994. On its first cruise in the FA-18, VFA-81 participated in Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. On January 17, 1991, LCdr. Scott Speicher's F/A-18C was shot down on the first night of the Persian Gulf War while flying a mission west of Baghdad. It is disputed whether he was shot down by a SAM or by a MiG-25.
