Swipe ➡️ In 1999, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) conducted Operation Allied Force, a 78-day aerial bombing campaign over the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. On March 26, Captain Jeff "Claw" Hwang piloted this F-15C (seen on display at the afmuseum) as the Mission Commander for an air support mission. Nearing the Bosnian/Serbian border, he acquired a single radar contact. While he and his wingman tracked the bogey, Capt. Hwang identified it as two targets in an enemy formation. Within ninety seconds of detecting the second aircraft, Capt. Hwang fired two AIM-120 missiles in rapid succession from a distance of sixteen miles and achieved the F-15’s first double MiG-29 Fulcrum kill in the same engagement. #airman #airmen #usaf #airforce #military #aviation #pilot #pilots #avgeek #f15 #f15eagle #f15c
