Still no evidence of two US Navy planes shot down by S-200 SAM in Spring 1986?

I have talked to several people who have been there. Genri (Gennadich, http://www.gennadich.com owner) was a translator for the S-200 advisor crew there and took part in that episode.

Didn't it crash in the Mediterranean after it was hit over Libya?

I'm sure all the crews that were lost were very tired after all the extra hours in-flight and refuelings necessary to detour around France.

Heheh, yeah it's France's fault that Libya shot down the fighters.
