    U.S. F-16 Fighting Falcon kills are short by a couple of Serbian aircraft. Not sure about some other entries...

    Yes, you're right. They shot down 4 Serbian Soko G-4 Super Galebs (6 USAF F-16 participated in this).

    Anybody know the kill record of the Mig-21 from the Vietnam War to now by Russian , Arab, and Vietnamese pilots and the type of aircrafts they shot down? Probably F-4'S, 101'S, 100's, A-4's, A-7's, Hueys, F-8's, Intruders, and etc.

    Also, there should be a Royal Saudi Air Force F-15 kill of an Iraqi MiG-25...

    I'm surprised that the Hornet has only 2 kills, which were Iraqi MiG-21's downed with Sparrows, if I'm correct.

    Nope - they killed them with Sidewinders.

    How about the UK Harrier air to air kills in the Falklands war: this is what i have on that and I may be wrong):

    24 kills - 20 w/ sidewinders and the rest w/ guns - these include 19 Mirage/Dagger/A-4 fighters, and a helo - the rest were I think a Canberra and a Pucara or two

    In addition, don't forget 2 air-to-air victories for the A-10 Warthog:

    2 Iraqi helicopters - I think one (both?) of them was an Mi-8 Hip) during Desert Storm

    One of the RN Harrier kills was a C-130. I remember seeing him interviewed stating he was amazed how hard the Herc was to take down.
