Was it a suspected AP dropout post cannister release? That would have been seconds.
IIRC Tallil was the home base for a Fire Fighting school hence they tried to clear the JP233 submunitions using their vehicles but I don't believe that occurred elsewhere.
And apart from the A-A kill whilst dispensing a pair of JP233, the airfields concerned virtually ceased flying after they were targetted. Now whether that was because they decided they couldn't take off or land or because they simply refused to as they were more than likely to be shot down I suspect we will never know.
There are some forum members on here who flew in those attacks and whilst the JP233 was not designed to go against the specific design of the Iraqi runways, from the reports I have read and photos I have seen, they provided a lot of disruption but the weapon failed to crater sufficiently well as one might have expected elsewhere.
