A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on June 2, 2007 and June 2, 2008.

The tone of the article is inappropriate; it recounts the whole thing breathlessly, as though this were some kind of thriller novel. Will fix and remove warning afterward.

What the

The article does not give any background for the incident. What were those pilots doing in Bosnia? Why would Serbs fire on a U.S. aircraft? What would've happened to O'Grady if he were captured? I guess I could find out on my own, but it can't hurt to have an intro / background section. --Itinerant1 10:04, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How is this a Serb military victory? Or anyones military victory? A plane was shot down and the pilot evaded capture and was rescued. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.195.8.81 (talk) 22:20, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And how in the hell is Mrkonjic supposed to be pronounced with only TWO vowels present???65.69.81.2 (talk) 14:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:UCK NLA.jpg

Image:UCK NLA.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Possible Copyright Violation

Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the The incident section seems to be partially rewritten versions of paragraphs 9 and 10 from F16.net article listed under External links. They are not exactly the same but they are pretty close. - Wgsimon (talk) 01:28, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name

So, who calls it "the Mrkonjić Grad incident"? The name of this place barely appears in English sources, let alone in connection with this event. There doesn't seem to be a standard name in the US other than "Scott O'Grady rescue" (or "rescue of ..."). But this is not the name it is known by. --Dhartung | Talk 22:02, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ambiguous statement/date

The line "On 14 August, a USAF MQ-1 Predator UAV was shot down in the same area, exposing the increasing effectiveness of Bosnian Serb antiaircraft units.[1][2]" doesnt say what year this supposedly took place and the references are a bit vague... Can anyone clean this up? Jddriessen (talk) 13:38, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
