Were there any aces during the gulf war?

Answer 1

Yes, there were instances of aerial combat during the Gulf War, but the number of aces—pilots who shoot down five or more enemy aircraft—was limited. The U.S. military's air superiority largely diminished the likelihood of dogfights, as most engagements were against ground targets or involved air-to-air missiles. However, a few pilots, such as those flying F-15s, achieved multiple confirmed aerial kills, contributing to the overall air campaign success.
