On September 21, 1953, Lt. Kum Sok No of the North Korean Air Force defected to the South in a MiG-15. It was an incredible moment for the USAF. Up to that time, the closest any of the pilots had come to a MiG was when they engaged one up by the Yalu River. It was a fine airplane, they knew, but what were the weaknesses? When Lt.

Before he became an astronaut, he was a test pilot and a fighter pilot with the USMC and USAF. So, without further pause: "During the Korean War, John Glenn engaged and shot down three North Korean (or were they Russian?) aircraft. Describe the types downed and provide the dates of the encounters." If you have the answer, log into the HW Forum and post away! http://www.historicwings.com/top-forum.html ********************************************************************* This week's newsletter is sponsored by PS Engineering, Inc., the World's leading innovator and manufacturer of aircraft intercoms.
