So... the plane that crashed could conceivably have participated in Reagan’s smack-down of the good colonel.
No, those were F-111’s.
IIRC the Air Force strike aircraft on that run were all F-111s flying out of RAF Lakenheath (and having to detour out into the Atlantic because the Frogs and Spanish wouldn’t let them overfly their airspace). Wouldn’t completely surprise me if that bird was a Gulf War I or II veteran for sure.
