Follow and Wishlist our game on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/3606970/Brass_Rain/ On January 19, 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, Captain Cesar “Rico” Rodriguez of the 58th Tactical Fighter Squadron flew an F-15C Eagle on a mission to protect a large coalition strike force. Accompanying him was his wingman, Captain Craig “Mole” Underhill. Despite the threat from Iraqi SAM sites, the F-15s pressed forward, buying precious time for the strikers. Meanwhile, several brave Iraqi pilots took off in Soviet-made MiG-29 Fulcrums to intercept the American fighters. The ensuing dogfight between the Eagles and Fulcrums became one of the most iconic aerial battles of the Gulf War.
