As I have stated earlier Operation "Odyssey Dawn" have been aptly named:

The international operation has targeted air defense sites and command centers. But Gadhafi himself has not been targeted, and there are no plans to kill the leader, said Gen. Carter Ham, the head of U.S. forces in Africa.

Ham said no Libyan aircraft have been observed flying since the military operations began Saturday.
