Even if you know a lot about the Cold War, chances are good you’ve probably never heard of Viktor Belenko. He was a lieutenant in the Soviet air force and an ace fighter pilot. Thirty-seven years ago today, on September 6, 1976, while flying his MiG-25 “Foxbat” fighter on a practice mission from Chuguyevka air base in Siberia, Lt. Belenko suddenly dove to treetop level, switched off his radio, and flew as fast as possible toward Japan. With his plane’s fuel tanks nearly bone dry, he narrowly missed a commercial airliner taking off and plowed the MiG-25 onto a runway at a civilian airport in Hakodate, on the island of Hokkaido. He had defected to the West, and quickly requested political asylum in the United States. (sic)  |

Most Jaguar photos look just like that. |
