On 22 October 1980 two F-4D from the 71st Tactical Fighter Wing (TAB 7,
Shiraz) as usual in very low altitude on their way to attack a large
Iraqi Air Base at Habbaniyah, some 120 kilometers due west from
Baghdad. As they flew into the SAM defense of the Iraqi capital, Sadly
one Phantom was shot down by an Iraqi SA-6 surface-to-air missile and
crew was captured.

Lots more detail than in his other posts. Hmmmm
Also, would Iranian jets commit to flying single-ship missions that
early in the war? I know that the Phantom drivers were reputed as
experts, but a single ship seems a bit light - and lacking the support
you get from a section.

While the other F-4 out maneuvered the second missile by making an 11 G
turn.

11g's - with full stores?

Mean while trying to jam the enemy radar emissions with its ALQ-109
jammer pod. The crew soon realized that it was impossible to continue
the attack and turned towards the secondary target at Al-Bakr oil
refinery.

Were the combatants of the PGW-I hitting each other's petro-industrial
assets that soon? I always thought that there was a short interval,
eventually broken of course, in which they focused on other targets
like factories unrelated to oil production, and power stations.

After the successful attack, the F-4D turned toward the border, with
two Iraqi MiG-23MS in hot pursuit. The Iranian pilot jettisoned it's
empty drop tanks and blasted on high speed at very low altitude going
back with Iraqi's behind him firing couple of R-13 (NATO code AA-2
Atoll) missiles. All could be evaded,

So these Phantoms are not only zooming for the border at top speed and
at bottom altitude, but they're maneuvering as well?

however, some 70 kilometers from
the border the Phantom crew realized that they spent to much fuel, and
they could not even reach the border any longer. Thus, they declared an
emergency and prepared to eject because they had no other alternative.
At this time the supporting Boeing 707 tanker and two F-14A Tomcats
that had waited behind the border did cross into Iraq to provide fuel.
At the time of contact between the F-4D and Boeing 707 there were only
700lb. fuel left in the tanks of the Phantom. Although the whole
refueling operation was undertaken in medium altitude and Iraqi radar
had full picture of what was going on not even one Iraqi interceptor
dare come close.

Was the fear of the F-14 so firmly established that 1) Iraqi pilots
knew to avoid them whenever they crossed into Iraqi AS? and 2)Iranian
pilots of large and non-maneuvering tankers could rely on that fear to
bring their large and valuable aircraft into enemy airspace?
