The Inside Story of Flying Against the Air Force's Secret Soviet Fighter Jets
Story by Kyle Mizokami • Yesterday 4:37 PM

The fighters were not only used to study Soviet tech, but also to train American pilots against the real deal.

One former F-15 pilot describes his experience flying against MiG-21 and MiG-23 fighter jets over the Nevada desert.

The race for military supremacy during the Cold War took many unusual twists and turns, and one of the strangest was America's clandestine effort to acquire Soviet fighter jets.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
