My son is working on a paper for school and needs to interview some people involved with airplane combat. We can do it by email. Any help appreciated.
Much Thanks

Been to Iraq twice but I wouldn't say I was involved in any airplane combat. Define airplane combat. Because I haven't heard of any "dogfights" in years. There's plenty of aerial support and reconnaissance but no specific air to air combat that I'm aware of.

I guess he just needs to know more about the planes. Not the fighting. Trying to figure it out myself. Do you have any plane knowledge?
Thanks

Hmm I was a 2T2 (air transportation) in the Air Force. I worked in the passenger terminal, ATOC, fleet, and flight line. I'm intimately familiar with our cargo aircraft, C-17's, C-130's, C-5's, C-141's... I wasn't around the combat aircraft much though.
