FIRST NIGHT

摘要

The true story of a memorable night for a fighter pilot in the skies over Baghdad, as seen through his eyes in the cockpit of an F-117 'stealth fighter' - January 17, 1991, the first night of the Gulf War. FEW OF THOSE who were alive back in 1991, especially in America, don't remember where they were on the night of January 17. I was on my couch in New York, watching CNN, transfixed in almost surreal disbelief by live television reporting and daring journalism as the Gulf War began in dramatic fashion. I had many friends from my military flying days that I knew were airborne that night. It was a strange feeling to know our nation was headed to war, and the flyers would soon be tested in combat in the skies over Iraq.
