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

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