Agaricus: Right. I flew right over (just before, or during final approach, less than 2,000' AGL) an SA-2 site in northern Somalia in '81 or '82, while flying senior officers (from Tampa, FL) there. We were in Mogadishu for a week, in order to fly these guys to possible supply/deployment bases, to be used in case of a future "problem" in the Middle East.
Certain readers must not be aware of the tragic losses of many high-altitude B-52s (and crews) over North Vietnam due to SA-2 launches. It was 1973? I would call that a high-altitude missile. This fact is noted in many books and tv programs about the war.
