        Soviet Lt. Viktor I. Belenko carried two personal items – the military identity document & a knee-pad notebook with flight data – on his dramatic flight to freedom in a MiG‑25 Foxbat fighter from the USSR to Japan in 1976.pic.twitter.com/rQS7PbuxyR

        The Japanese Government allowed US limited access to the MiG before it was disassembled & returned to the USSR in 30 crates. Belenko eventually became an American citizen by an act of Congress when President Carter signed a private bill into law.pic.twitter.com/THdeGuNlP7

        Nope. To extract bin Laden we flew a plane under the plane they threw him out of alive. ~US doesn't have seals. Nor does UK. Get that!

        This was the proof that the MiG 25 was a piece of shit joke. Mid-fifties technology with third rate components. It was a real confidence boost for US military intelligence.

        It's called a passport. I can't really say this on the internet, nor could I prove it on the mall, but I still have all my passports since from Roman times. ~Vansittart
