Tangential to the topic:
Does anyone know of any 892Sqn F-4K air to air kills?

I just read yesterday that an 892 Omega off Ark Royal shot a Sidewinder in around 1975 (during the Sailor series but not captured on camera) off Virginia somewhere at an air to air range and knocked one engine off a US (Navy?) C-130!!!
Luckily the Sidewinder did not have a warhead...
Apparently the fault of the Herc's crew who transgressed into the firing range unannounced!
That goes one better than shooting one's own aircraft down (F-4-Jag incident!)
