The pilot ejected safely and was recovered by coalition ground forces near the airport, U.S. Central Command said. The pilot was reported to be in good condition. Brig. Gen.

    This video is NOT a mission that got shot down. This is the HUD video of Demob 71/72 flight (72's video) that was a successful CAS mission conducted around NW Baghdad. There was AAA present during the mission, but it did not shoot down these A-10's. Need to properly label this video 'cuase it not a shoot-down.
