Photo Comment

The 390th Electronic Combat Squadron (ECS) was based at Mountain Home AFB (ID) as part of the 366th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW). Twelve of Ravens of the squadron, of which this 033, were deployed in Desert Storm in August 1990. The squadron made history when an EF-111A scored an unofficial kill on the first night of the war when they maneuvered a pursuing Iraqi Mirage F1EQ into the ground. This 033 was delivered to Upper Heyford on 7 May 1984 and was one of the six EF-111As which took part in Operation El Dorado Canyon attack on Libya.
