Su-22 Fitter silhouette and Sidewinder missile in recognition of the VF-41 F-14 /107 that shot down a Sukhoi Su-22 Fitter of Libyan Air Force. LT Lawrence 'Music' Muczynski/LTJG James 'Amos’ Anderson encountered two Su-22 from Ghurdabiyah Air Base near Sirte. The Libyans fired AA-2 "Atoll" which missed. Then the Su-22s split; the leader turning NW and the wingman turning SW. The Tomcats evaded the missile and fired AIM-9L Sidewinders; the first kill is credited to Fast Eagle 102, the second to Fast Eagle 107. Both Libyan pilots ejected.
