This gunship was shot down by a surface to air missile during Operation Desert Storm on 31 January 1991 (calling "Spirit03"). Locations given on the internet differ. The Aviation Safety Network reports 'near Ras Al Khafji, Saudi Arabia', whereas C-130net mentions '110 kilometers south-southeast of Kuwait City, Kuwait'. All 14 crew on board were killed. This was USAF's largest single loss during Desert Storm. The Ghostrider is seen here at Ramstein, operated ny 16 SOS (the same unit it flew with in 1991).
