during the korean war soviet pilots were flying for nk. they bitched because they had to dress like the nk, and resented it so much that they started just wearing civilian clothes. but have you ever met a korean named vladimir? come on! never heard about soviet/russian pilots in vietnam or the gulf, but particularly with vietnam, i can't believe they WOULDN'T have kept there dirty paws out of it. particularly when things started going downhill for us. that's like a kid in a candy store. if it turns out true that speicher was shot down by a russian and it's proven...wow, i cant believe that would do a lot of good for us-russian relations. if russia doesnt have many good pilots right now.....it's probably cause they're still trying to find their way home from all over the world. they've been logging more flight time in foreign aircraft then their own.
