Only a month later, U.S. Air Force F-111Fs bombed three carefully-selected targets in Tripoli

Despite fierce resistance from Libyan air defenses, the Americans lost only one of their fighter-bombers.

The memorial service, and the missing man formation fly by, for the lost F-111, was held at Travis AFB, California, in 1986. I was the supervisor on duty in the control tower, during the fly by. It was solemn and impressive.

Thanks for sharing.
Military memorial events always put a lump in my throat.
