Here are some pics I found of the MiGs that the 4477th Red Eagles TES flew during the Constant Peg operation back in the 1970s and 80s.
I knew that we acquired a handfull of MiGs from defectors, but from the looks of the pics we had (have?) quite a few. Any ideas as to their whereabouts these days?
More about Constant Peg. You can also read about them more in depth in Robert Wilcox's book Wings of Fury.
