Concerning the F-117 performance debate:
I believe the gentleman has brought up a valid point.  The amazingly
low loss rates in Desert Storm will no doubt make it difficult to
compare certain aspects of performance.  The lack of serious fighter
defence should also be noted.

I am more curious about the low loss rates among the helicopters. Was
this due to an absence of the big airmobile type operations?

Did the Iraquis use any of the man-portable SAMS?

thanx
