Report: Navy Pilot Breaks Silence About Shooting Down Syrian Fighter
The first U.S. pilot to notch an air-to-air kill in nearly 20 years, shooting down a Syrian Su-22 Fitter earlier this summer, recently made his first public comments about the experience, telling British journalists the entire encounter lasted only eight minutes.
The shoot-down was executed by Navy Lt. Cmdr. Michael "MOB" Tremel, an F/A-18E Super Hornet pilot assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron 87 aboard the carrier George H.W. Bush, reports outlet SavetheRoyalNavy.org.
