Three U.S. F-15s Involved in Friendly Fire Incident in Kuwait; Pilots Safe
USCENTCOM
TAMPA, Fla. – At 11:03 p.m. ET, March 1, three U.S. F-15E Strike Eagles flying in support of Operation Epic Fury went down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident.
During active combat—that included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drones — the U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses.
All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered, and are in stable condition. Kuwait has acknowledged this incident, and we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti defense forces and their support in this ongoing operation.

The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet is a supersonic twin engine all-weather
night fighter and attack aircraft. The F/A-18s first flew in November 1978 and the first production
flight on April 12, 1980. The first 380 aircraft were F/A-18As and in September 1987 production
switched to the F/A-18C. Variants A and C are single-seat aircraft while B and D are tandem-
seats. The Hornet can operate from either aircraft carriers or land bases with the capability of in
flight refueling. A total of 1,480 A-D variants were built.
Canadian CF-188 Hornet 188776 was chosen to receive a special paint scheme to celebrate the
60th Anniversary of NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command). NORAD is an
agreement between Canada and the United States of America that monitors and defends North
America against any hostile aerial aggression. More commonly known as a CF-18 in Canada
188776 will be the 2018 Demonstration aircraft that will fly in air shows throughout Canada and
the U.S.. It will be piloted by Captain Stefan "Porcelain" Porteous, a ten year veteran. NORAD's
motto - We Have the Watch.
