I do. I also recall this is what prompted Ronald Reagan to bomb Kadaffi’s tent compound with the new stealth F-117 Nighthawks resulting in Kadaffi rethinking terrorism.

No, the first use of F-117s was Panama a year later. We used F-111s against Kaddafi.

“”bomb Kadaffi’s tent compound””

Supposedly a daughter of his was killed in that bombing. I can’t remember who wrote about the flight of the bombers and the time spent/wasted trying to get and being denied permission to overfly a country to achieve that bombing?
