    Actually I heard it was actually four F-14’s and two F-4’s that were shot down by Hinds.

    One F-4 was downed using the 12.7-mm gun in the nose of the Hind while the other five fighters were shot down using missiles I believe.

    I just came across this information……some Ukrainian I met in Kiev last year sent me an e-mail about it!

    Can you get the details on these events????

    Air Refueling??

    Looks like a KC-135 refueling a C-5, but the C-5 is at a higher altitude, (just finished or just beginning) so it appears larger – comments???
