What? The Yanks have stolen a MiG as well???

I seem to remember Chuck Yeager flying one of these once - and wasn't too impressed!! I think he met Mikoyan in Moscow at some stage (unofficially of course) and virtually said to him "You stuffed up with that one, didn't you?" ... to which Mikoyan apparently winked and laughed hard. I think the point Yeager was making was that [real] aviators don't make distinctions between country or politics. Could be just an urban myth, of course - but it makes a nice story!
