I dont think VictorCharles had an aircraft. It sure would have been different if he did.

We lost a number of people and aircraft as a result of North Vietnamese missiles.

He said no soldiers or Marines...not no Americans.

The point was "losses from hostile combat aircraft" which the raptor is designed to destroy.

While we lost aircraft from missiles, and the occasional NVA MiG, no NVA aircraft ever bombed or strafed our ground forces. This is what he meant.

He said no soldiers or Marines were killed by hostile aircraft.

A fair number of pilots and airman died defending the soldiers and Marines.
