The museum recently completed the restoration of 163508. This F/A-18C, with LCDR Mark Fox piloting, shot down an Iraqi F-7A (Chinese MiG-21 variant) on 17 January 1991 on the first day of Operation Desert Storm. A Sidewinder missile was used for the kill. After the engagement (another F-7A was downed by LCDR Fox' wingman) the flight of four Hornets continued on their strike mission. The target was the Al Walid airfield, where each a/c expended four Mk.84 2000 pound bombs on the target.
