W. Houston: You state a few truths, however one of the reasons why the Vincennes shot down the Iranian Civilian Jet liner was due to the "sophisticated" AEGIS radar system within the ship. I remember reading that there was confusion about that Iranian Jet and some Iranian Fighter nearby. here's a link: arabmedia.com Five months before Pan Am Flight 103 crashed in a fiery explosion, gunmen on the USS Vincennes, ostensibly patrolling international waters off the coast of Iran, fired upon Iranian Airbus A300, destroying the commercial civilian aircraft and killing all 290 people on board. The ship's commander claimed his crew "mistook" the giant commercial Boeing 747 plane for a much smaller, military F-14 fighter jet. A hastily arranged investigation by the United States, blamed one "operations officer," and issued the lowest possible punishment, a letter of reprimand placed in the unknown officer's personnel file. inally, in 1992, evidence surfaced that in fact, the commercial Iranian airline had been on course and was in Iranian air space. It was the USS Vincennes that had been off course by more than 20 miles. dave
