Anyone else heard of this? Apparently China export a group of J-7 to the US in either the 70's or 80's (different sources) for test and evaluation purposes. I came across reference to this in several places. Anyone know more about this?
In 1987, the U.S. Air Force bought 12 new from China for use in the Constant Peg program. At the same time, it retired the remaining MiG-21F-13 Fishbeds acquired from Indonesia.
Manclark did not say so, but a photo of one of the new jets showed that it was a Chinese J-7, with the early MiG-21F nose and two-piece canopy.
