I often wonder why many choose to ignore the No Fly Zones imposed on Iraq from 1991-2003 this was really a quasi war so in effect we never truly ended a state of combat with Iraq during the No Fly Zone times none of our aircraft where lost but they bombed many an Iraqi air defense sight.i can vouch for this I deployed on TDYs to Turkey many times and our aircraft left loaded with munitions every time they did not always come back with said munitions because they had bombed some Iraqi air defense related sight.I was not a bit surprised by the Iraq War part 3 they where just waiting for the right time.
