Yep, Brian and Walt were the back-up for the first Libyan job but were not needed. The second mission had Brian and Walt as primary but they had a sensor failure near the target area. The back-up never received the call, so that called for a third mission for which Brian and Walt were back-up, and again not needed. So they probably made it to Libya.
