The crew members, Captain Attia Abdel Salem al Abdali and his co-pilot, Ali Omar Gaddafi, were ordered to bomb the city in response to the Libyan Civil War. They refused, bailing out of the aircraft and parachuting to the ground. * 5 March 2011 – Rebels shot down a Libyan Air Force Su-24MK during fighting around Ra's Lanuf with a ZU-23-2 antiaircraft gun. Both crew members died. BBC reported from the scene after the crash and filmed an aircraft part at the site showing the emblem of the 1124th squadron. * 17 March 2011 – a Free Libyan Air Force MiG-21UM suffered a technical fault and crashed after takeoff from Benina airport, the aircraft defected on 15 March together with a MiG-21bis landing at Benina airport, departing from Ghardabiya AB, near Sirte to become part of the Free Libyan Air Force. . * 19 March 2011 – a MiG-23BN of the Free Libyan Air Force was shot down over Benghazi by its own air defenses, who mistook it for a loyalist aircraft.
