During the third day of Operation Desert Storm, Capt. Larry “Cherry” Pitts, operating as CITGO 22, secured a notable aerial victory near Baghdad, overcoming the challenges posed by an elusive Iraqi MiG-25 Foxbat through its high-speed maneuvers, adept chaff and flare usage, and Capt. Pitts’ persistence. The culmination came with the successful hit using his fifth missile, underscoring the formidable speed of the Foxbat and emphasizing the intricacies of air-to-air combat in the intense theatre of the Gulf War, all achieved despite Capt. Pitts’ relatively limited hours in the Eagle.
