I hear talk from our press about the rebels being boosted by the coalition attacks but I don't hear much about who the rebels are.

BBC are reporting that an F15 came down in Libya last night. No word on what caused it but I'm getting the horrible feeling this whole situation is going to get messy (not that it already isn't).

Edit: mechanical failure is being sited as the reason. Both crew are safe.

Thanks Bro'. I'm a US citizen, but my ethnic background is Austrian. Austrian Jew, to be precise. My family will always be grateful to the Brits.

Every time I crash in BoP and the game doesn't give a kill, thats mechanical failure and totaly unrelated to the huge amount of bullets striking my plane :-P

BBC reporting a French plane destroyed a Libyan plane just after it landed. It's just like CTA at Manston

hello dk ,

yes it seems a french RAFALE destroyed a SOKO G2 GALEB.

Hi Olife, that info on the type of AC was quick from you. The BBC only just announced the Libyan type here.
They say they took it out with an air to ground missile

Incredibly, the Wiki page for the Soko G-2 Galeb has already been updated and refers to the Rafale having shot down one in the Libyan conflict:
