A MiG at your six is better than no MiG at all. -- Unknown U.S. Fighter Pilot
I had another [MiG] in sight at my 10 o'clock, in a left turn.... I pulled sharp left, turned inside him, pulled my nose up about 30 [degrees] above the horizon, ...barrel rolled to the right, held my position upside down above and behind the MIG until the proper angular deflection and rang parameters were satisfied, completed the rolling maneuver, and fell in behind and below the MiG-21 at his seven o'clock position at about.95 mach. Range was 4500 feet, angle off 15. The MiG obligingly pulled up well above the horizon and exactly down sun. I put the pipper on his tailpipe, received a perfect [missile] growl, squeezed the trigger once, hesitated, then once again. The first Sidewinder leapt in front and within a split second, turned left in a definite and beautiful collision course correction .... Suddenly the MiG-21 erupted in a brilliant flash [of] orange flame. -- Colonel Robin Olds, USAF
