lt. col. Dale Zelko's on being shot down in his F-117A

an audio excerpt with slides from a presentation by lt. col. Dale Zelko, the pilot of the american F-117 stealth bomber that was shot down during bombing raid over Serbia. it was the first ever stealth aircraft lost to hostile fire. first the pilot explains in detail about his experience, starting with the launching of two missiles by the serbian air defense. we then hear the live audio recording of the whole incident from a cockpit of another aircraft some 20 miles away. very interesting radio traffic as they realize something's wrong

this information is not verified, but the weapon in question was supposed to be a slightly modified version of a russian S-125 Neva/Pechora short range ground-to-air missile: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SA-3_Goa,
guided by the Czech Tamara radar system:

after the shooting down of an american stealth bomber the serbian people defended their action with the slogan: "sorry, we didn't know it was invisible";)
