Comments:
Captain Scott O’Grady’s aircraft. While patrolling the no-fly zone over Bosnia, the aircraft was hit by an SA-6 Gainful SAM. The aircraft came down near the town of Banja Luka, Bosnia.

Scott was picked up from near the town of Mrkonjic Grad. Scott O’Grady’s story made headlines around the world, becoming a celebrity. He is one of the more well known F-16 pilots.
