Some old Vietnam bombers conducted some sorties, but primarily the F14 Tomcats, F16 Falcons, F 15 Eagles needed some target practice too, they all had to rush in and get some experience before the enemy surrendered so quickly. The campaign ended within 40 days with the ground offensive only lasting 100 hours. Wasn't really enough time for everyone to test out their new weapons.
