A USAF F-15 suffered catastrophic engine failure and its crew ejected over a small island off the Iranian coast. VFA-41 was tasked with providing air cover for the SAR mission. Several fast-moving military craft moving toward the island were engaged with Maverick 'F' IR-guided missiles. Allied Apache helicopters and F-15 Eagles provided additional support.
