"Pentagon sources said this week's close call, in which a modified Iraqi surface-to-air missile exploded close enough to rattle a single-seat U.S. U-2 spy plane, is the latest of some two dozen attempts by Iraq to shoot down reconnaissance planes this year. "

"Iraq fired yesterday on U.S. and British warplanes patrolling a "no-fly" zone over the southern part of the country, confronting the Bush administration with its first test under the new U.N. resolution insisting Iraq disarm."

"December 29, 1998
Iraqi missile batteries fired on U.S. aircraft over the northern "no-fly" zone.
The Allied warcraft returned fire and destroyed the Iraqi air-defense battery. "

That's just from the first page of a google search. Mind you, I had serious problems with the sovreignty implications of the no-fly zones to start with, but there were plenty of attacks on our planes.
