7. I editted my post, but you may not have noticed it so...
I just thought I would point it out.

Ok, so White's aircraft was supposedly downed by a Patriot, but what about the other two pilots from the 333rd that I added on edit?

Any links to what happened to them?

As far as I was able to determine they were from a training squadron, that appears to have been deployed for the war. But how did they get shot down?

I remember that there were at least two occasions that the Iraqis claimed to have shot down US aircraft, and that CentCom had denied this, I believe by saying that they had no aircraft missing. Of course the aircraft wouldn't be missing if it had been shot down and seen to crash. They would know exactly where it was, so it wouldn't be "missing" would it.

And now I find two sets of deaths listed during that time period of pilots flying in combat over Iraq. Perhaps the Iraqis weren't lying after all?
