My old boss who just retired and former F-14 driver told me the other day that many believe the one F-14 shot down in the Gulf War was downed by a Mig/Mirage and not a SAM. Another conspiracy theory? Maybe so :)

Is that the Tomcat where the pilot had to evade a couple days and then went on to be a VFA skipper?
 
You mean the F-18 shot down? That's what I've heard about Scott Speicher's shoot-down, that it may have been by a MiG-29 and not a SAM, as reported.

Nope, not Speicher but the F-14 that was shot down. It was listed as a SAM but he said there are indications that is wasn't but wasn't specific. Meaning, he probably doesn't have the specifics :confused: ie rumor mill. From what I've read about Speicher, a Mig-25 shot him down.
