Has any one seen "Top Gun"? In that movie USNavy's F-14s go against MiGs but f you notice that MiGs are not realy MiGs but F-5s. PS they just call them MiGs. Not MiG-19/21/25/27/31 etc.
In another movie "hot shots" a comic perody of "Top Gun" again the US fighters (in Hot Shots case I dnt knw which AirCrafts were being used, they werent F-14s) go against MiGs. Again F-5s stared as MiGs.
I saw another movie in which a boy flies an F-16B to rescue his father from some ME country.When he reachs that ME country he is met by MiGs. This time mirages starred as MiGs.
It was only today (28/3/05) that I saw a movie in which US pilot flew a MiG aggressor for a test & in that movie the MiG realy happened to be a MiG, infact it was MiG-29.
I dnt knw why US has not been able to get MiGs even to star in the high budget movies even though USAF has few MiG-29s as aggressors.
