From: deej@nvuxr.UUCP (David G Lewis) I believe a Phantom II on a fighter sweep in Vietnam shot down four NVAF MiGs. If memory serves correctly, three with Sidewinder missiles and one with cannon fire. (This is, of course, drawn from memory of a one paragraph description of the story I last saw about seven years ago...) --- David G Lewis ...!bellcore!nvuxr!deej "If this is paradise, I wish I had a lawnmower."
