Iraq launched its only offensive of the Gulf War, attacking the Saudi Arabian city of Khafji, and was promptly clobbered by coalition airpower, to include U.S. Air Force A-10s and AC-130s. By Feb. 1, the city was retaken.
Poor event planning and staffing contributed to a fatal mishap last April at Kadena Air Base, Japan, when rotor wash from an HH-60W helicopter knocked over a Japanese teacher from a Department of Defense Education Activity school attending a public aerial demonstration, according to an Air Force investigation.
