Dave Decot:
	Which US planes did member countries of the Arab League try
	to shoot down?  Where were the planes?  What kind of planes
	were they?

John Hobson:
    I seem to recall the Libyans shooting at an American plane, if I
    recall correctly, an F-15, over the Gulf of Sidra about a year ago.

    Also, if the Syrians didn't shoot down Lt. Goodman and his F-15 over
    Lebanon, then tell me, sir, how did he wind up in their hands?

Dave Decot:
I do not dispute your information, I simply requested it.  Don't get angry
at my ignorance, please.  Was Lt. Goodman over Syria or over Lebanon?
What was his F-15 doing (i.e., what was his mission) when he was shot down?
How about the F-15 shot down by the Libyans?  In whose airspace is the
Gulf of Sidra?  Hostile aircraft over any country don't usually get red-carpet
treatment, do they?

Dave Decot		 "Americans are people, too."
