In 1989, two Libyan MiG-23 Floggers engaged two VF-32 F-14As from USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) that were flying Combat Air Patrol missions close to the Libyan coast. The MiG-23s were determined hostile and they downed both Floggers.

During Gulf War I, the F-15 accounted for 36 of the 39 Air Force air-to-air victories.
