F-15s streaked through the dark night;
Two eagles on a deadly flight.
Enemies soon engaged;
A sharp dogfight raged.
The MiG’s splashed into the Libyan bight.
Author notes
Eagle photo prompt from google.com. This is inspired by events surrounding a dogfight between American and Libyan pilots over the Medeterranian Sea in the 1980s.
