I ask myself what is a patriot rocket doing in the nofly zone over Baghdad? My best guess? Again.... the jet was misstaken for an enemy jet in the nofly zone becasue the pilot failed (or was unable to) contact control and his systems where offline.
i think it was shot down over kuwait on the way back from a bombing mission.
