...directions (fear is normal in this situation...British and American that night flew at home due to the weather condition...THEY NOT, they continued their mission!). After the ejection they were imprisoned and tortured for more than 1 month by Saddam force.
This to remember that Cocciolone and Bellini are heroes! You are right when we say "Iraq is not a play ground..." However, the only ones who played that night were the British and American pilots who were not even able to refuel.

Probably you don't know the history of that night... The crew (Maj. Bellini and Cpt. Cocciolone) was the ONLY ONE able to refuel that night due to heavy storm condition. That crew, alone and without any support by allied force, destroyed the primary obj for that mission and also destroyed a ZSU234 using the aircraft as an unguided bomb. When shotdown they was flying a 120ft with Full Afterburner in the black of the night and with a lot o AAA and SAM that was shooting from all...
