From: geoffb@eleazar.dartmouth.edu (Thumper) Since my previous post requesting information about Tornado designations attracted so many requests for the list I was compiling I guess I might as well post it here. Thanks to all those who responded... The following list is compiled from UPI and NBC news reports and I make no claims as to its accuracy. It is as accurate as public news reports allow. -Geoff Bronner '91 Alpha Theta Fraternity House Historian -- cut here -- Here is the toll of Coalition aircraft reported lost in the Persian Gulf (as of 7 February 1991) since the war began on 17 January 1991: United States: Navy F-18C Hornet, Jan. 17, crew of one missing.
