Thanks! I hadn't heard about the business jet aspect of that attack! In the Falklands the Argentines used Super Entendards, a pair flying with one Exocet and a huge drop tank each with a Learjet flying at high altitude as the scout aircraft. They had a total inventory of 5 air-launched Exocets at the outbreak of the war and Britain was able to pressure France to halt delivery of the rest of the order.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
