Anyone here old enough to remember when that Mig25 pilot defected to the US and flew his plane to Japan?

I remember the uproar it created in the aviation community on how bad we "read" the Foxbats capabilities.

Victor Belenko - It happened in the summer of 1976....
 
Danke :D

I don't remember the defection, I was busy in 76 - lots of marching, polishing shoes, ironing shirts, saluting, and that kind of thing...
 
That's a post of the Month!

That was not bad.

The reality was kinda tough - doing the RAF Basic Training during that heatwave was something I'd like to forget :shock:
