VFA-41 was tasked with flying a fighter sweep.
All dealer flights departed mother at 10min intervals and proceeded to the patrol area. In total 10 enemy aircraft were shot down, we lost 2 hornets in the process. The action was hot and heavy early on but stabilized shortly after Iran realized they were losing planes at an alarming rate.
