I was there during the Gulf War as a civilian employee of Bechtel Corporation. We were constructing the King Fahd International Airport (KFIA) Project in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. This became one of the biggest US military base during the Gulf War. Just days after Iraq invaded Kuwait on Aug. 2, 1990, Bechtel evacuated most of it’s employees, they chartered planes and flew them back to their countries of origin. I was one of the few essential employees Bechtel management asked to stay to operate the essential airport utilities like the Jet Fuel Tank Farm, Apron Jet Fuel Hydrants and Fueling System, Central Plant, Central Water Pumping Station and Sewage Lift Stations. I and my other Bechtel colleagues operated the utilities to provide Jet Fuel to the US Jet planes, air conditioning, potable water to the US Military and Coalition Forces. The airport was just partially completed and not yet commercially operational then. The first C-130 US Air Force plane landed at KFIA on Aug. 15, 1990. There were no operational airport communications systems then, the C-130 landed visually and was guided with a pick up with a Follow Me sign painted on a plywood. to the Terminal Apron. After this first landing the A10 Jet planes from Germany flew in. Military personnel and equipment started to build up. I could still remember the start of the war on Jan. 16, 1991 when the war started. I was in the camp and saw all the war planes taking off, Operation Desert Storm has started. At night we would run to the bomb shelter every time there is a Iraqi Scud Missile attack. I was there side by side sitting with the American soldiers. Proud to have served the US Military during Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm. I was there during the entire duration of the Gulf War operating the airport utilities to support our US Military.

rumor has it that photographers at the airshows who were using auto-focus lenses had such a difficult time focusing on the F-117 for for photos had to result to manual focus…the electronic signals from the cameras & lenses (some USM type) were bouncing off the plane’s facets in all directions except back to the lenses

One thing that the wars in the gulf region showed was that cooperation between allied nations was in fact possible and worked effectively, yes there were problems but nothing insurmountable, and thank goodness they did work together otherwise the whole strategy for western defence would be a mute point.

I was in 9th grade when this happened, and it was awesome warching all of it play put on TV, seeing the US and allied forces completely dominate Saddam's self labeled most powerfull fighting machine and how any type of warfare against him and his military would be a huge mistake, only for us to completely wipe put anyone who stayed to fight while massive amounts of other Iraqi troops surrendered, bussloads at a time. His airforce fleeing to other countries rather than even attempting to fight. This was why in 2003 so many americans thought it would be the same thing all over again against the Taliban, yet here we are nearly 20 years later, still fighting a seemingly endless war. Either way, the 90's was the best time for this type of conflict if you are a fan of military aircraft. From the B-52 all the way up to the F117 and every plane in between played huge roles. No little unmanned drones, rather actual pilots putting all their training and technology on display, allowing the actual ground warfare to he over in just 3 days. It was one time when I was proud to be an American. Great video!

You say "small losses" because you compare with your enemy losses, iraq had pretty heavy losses, above 100.000 deaths. The coalition had a few hundreds, the allies loose 50 fix wing aircrafts, but the iraqi air force was totally decimated. So if you make a comparation you'll see that they really had few losses

Americans have all the superior technology so it was a formality Iraq never had a functional military was not a war it was a one sided beating of a inferior opposition

Fair play to the yanks - the f15 is one hell of a plane. IMO it’s easily the best post war fighter aircraft, what else has been as clearly dominant for it’s time in it’s designated role. Hell not even the mustang or spitfire can match unbeaten a2a exchange rate. USAF pilots are always very professional too, guys I’ve spoken to that have been to red flag etc always speak really highly of US pilots. Also that eagle mig kill footage, the computer was calling bingo fuel like crazy and he just calmly continues the fight (nothing will eat fuel quicker than a2a scraps), then once the enemy was down he stayed out of afterburner and made sure his mates did so too. Hope they got to a tanker or I bet that journey home would have been pretty dicey!!

The first Iraq War was the best planned, best executed war in history, the 2nd Gulf War in 2003 had better technology, better surveillance, better aircraft, better everything but the planners got it badly wrong, they were overconfident in their planning, committed far too few troops and badly misjudged the Iraqi people. The Coalition service personnel were exceptional but the US Government planners/advisors got it badly wrong.
