Q

Captain Brent D. Brandon g 54-55

A

During Operation DESERT SHIELD/STORM, graduates were once again called upon to distinguish themselves in service to their country. Five graduates were killed in action and four were captured and held as POWs. Then Captain Brent D. Brandon, Class of 1984, earned an air-to-air kill against an Iraqi Mirage F-1 in the first minutes of Operation DESERT STORM when during an engagement that involved aggressive, low-altitude maneuvering, the F-1 impacted the ground. This feat is the only time an F-111 (or its unarmed EF-111 variant, which Captain Brandon was in) ever achieved an aerial victory over another aircraft.
