In addition to the 81st TFS, Spangdahlem's 23rd TFS was also sent to the war zone. Arriving in Turkey in December 1990, the squadron flew as a mixed hunter/killer team with F-16s throughout the course of the war. 69-7582 served as the 52nd TFW flagship and kept its full compliment of color throughout the war. Its mission tally was added to the intake fixed ramp at the conclusion of the war, by way of tiny Phantom markings. During the war, it carried only a single AGM-88 HARM kill markings for a
kill against an Iraqi radar site. Choose either the single kill to depict this jet during the war, or the Phantom markings to depict it after the war.
