Over the past 37 days, America's armed forces have carried out more than 10,000 combat flights

over Iran, unheard of, striking more than 13,000 targets.

The F-15 we lost last week was the first manned aircraft downed by the enemy in this entire operation with thousands and thousands of flights.

He got lucky. It was a lucky hit.

You know, eventually you get lucky.

But we got lucky too because we got both of them back.

But it's a record that is unparalleled in the history of military air operations nobody's ever seen anything

like it it's such an honor to be involved with it we were up late at night and then we were waiting for

those contingent planes to come in and we say come on let's get in. Because they're waiting out on this farm without a runway with wet, crummy soil, sand,

mostly sand, wet sand, and it eats planes alive.

And we're waiting and we're saying, I hope that one can land and take off.

And they came in like magic, boom, boom, boom, one after another. It was like genius.

I'm so impressed by that. Because we were a little concerned. We said, boy, if they don't get in

and get up fast, we're sitting in the, and that's called Iran Prime, right, General? That's

where the whole bed is. And here we are sitting there waiting for a plane. But they came in so

fast and so hard and these guys knew exactly what they let's go. Come on. Get in. Let's go.

They came one right after another, not at the same time.

They don't want to come at the same time.

They had to come right after each other.

They didn't have any room.

There was barely any room to land.

Tiny little patch of very wet earth and sand.
