Libya responded by deploying fighter-bombers and interceptors, resulting in a tense standoff that peaked when two VF-41 F-14A Tomcats from the USS Nimitz - "Fast Eagle 102" and "Fast Eagle 107" - were ordered to intercept a pair of Libyan Su-22 Fitters. One of the Su-22s fired upon the F-14s and missed, and when the Su-22s tried to escape the Tomcats returned fire. Fast Eagle 102 shot down the first Su-22 and 107 shot down the second. The incident was over quickly, but history repeated itself in 1989 when two F-14s shot down a pair of MiG-23s in the same region.Sukhoi SU-22 Fitter in 1/72 diecast, is produced only by JC Wings.This model wears one of the most beautiful camo schemes.The model had been kept always in the BOX.
