Yep, F-111F's from RAF Upper Heyford. The French and others refused permission to overfly their territory, so our guys had to go way out and around to get there. Multiple inflight refueling events, and a lot of extra hours in flight. As I understand it, they hit his tent, but he wasn't home. One of his little daughters was, and died. I think he started to get the point, after that, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_U...mbing_of_Libya
