I don't know how I missed this incident in 1999. I must have been working my civilian job and I missed this story. I was a first lieutenant in the Army National Guard when this particular F-15 shot down a couple of Serbian mig-29s.

I'm sure it'll be parked really close by to the Robin Olds at F-4 Phantom but also shot down a couple Megs during the Vietnam War under Operation Bolo.

LTC (Join to see) Col Hwang is a really modest guy. He said it wasn't just his piloting skills only that got them, it was all the hours of training and flying in exercises.

I met Colonel Hwang in 2006 or 2007. He was then a pilot in the 123rd Fighter Squadron, 142nd Fighter Wing of the Oregon Air National Guard. A piece of one of the MIG's was in the building where the airmen who were the immediate air response pilots would rest when not flying.
