CULBERTSON, CARY N.
Synopsis:
The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star Medal to Cary N. Culbertson, Captain, U.S. Air Force, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in connection with military operations against an opposing armed force while serving as Pilot of an F-16 Fighter Plane in action, near Belgrade, Yugoslavia, on 14 April 1999. On that date, Captain Culbertson was leading a flight of F-16CJs that was providing suppression of enemy air defenses for B-2 bombers on a strike mission near Belgrade when Serbian forces fired three SA-3s at the fighter planes. Captain Culbertson turned his F-16 toward the rising missiles and attacked the SA-3 site with a high-speed antiradiation missile. The enemy then launched two more SA- 3s, this time directly targeting Captain Culbertson's aircraft. Although he would have been justified to discontinue his attack and defend against the incoming missiles, Captain Culbertson, with total disregard for his own personal safety and with the lives of his flight members foremost in his mind, continued his attack. Firing a HARM missile he destroyed the enemy radar dish, and then evaded the SA-3s. By his gallantry and devotion to duty, Captain Culbertson has reflected great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
Action Date: April - June 1999
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Captain Paul W. Tibbets, IV, United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as a B-2 Mission Commander, at or near Yugoslavia, on 8 April 1999. On that date, Captain Tibbets made aviation history by leading the world's first B-2 combat sortie without package support during Operation ALLIED FORCE. He displayed exceptional courage, skill, and endurance while flying a 30-hour combat mission, penetrating an advanced integrated air defense system that included an impressive array of ground threats, with no suppression/destruction of enemy air defense or offensive counter-air support available. Using his expert knowledge, Captain Tibbets resolved a system anomaly, which would have inhibited release, within minutes of striking his targets. Employing the new Joint Direct Attack Munition, Captain Tibbets successfully targeted 16 separate impact points and destroyed critical military production facilities including the Smederevo Petroleum Product Storage near Belgrade, a radio relay facility, and an arms production plant in Kragujevac. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Captain Tibbets reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
Action Date: April 22, 1999
The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Captain Scott D. Vilter for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as a B-2 Mission Commander at or near Yugoslavia on 25 April 1999. On that date, Captain Vilter’s superior airmanship, professionalism, and skill were instrumental in the successful completion of a 28-hour combat sortie in support of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s objectives in Operation Allied Force. Captain Vilter displayed exceptional courage, skill, and endurance while flying an approximately 30-hour combat mission, penetrating an advanced integrated air defense system that included an impressive array of ground threats and a substantial fighter threat. Captain Vilter successfully destroyed critical, high priority targets including a bridge in Novi Sad and the Valjevo Petroleum Production and Storage Facility while operation over active SA-3 sites. The success of this mission was crucial to the overall achievement of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s directives, as well as the historic first use of air power alone to secure military objectives. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Captain Vilter reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
