Re: USAF vs. VVSSS (Military Air Forces of Soviet Union

Yeager said that it aslo did not handle very well and that it had quirks. He said that it could break apart in a dive. Being that he flew both, I am going to have to take his word for it.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Re: USAF vs. VVSSS (Military Air Forces of Soviet Union

The MIG-15 wasn't designed for continued high speed dives because it was intended to be a bomber interceptor.

And talking about dangerous aircraft. The F-104 Starfighter was actually designed to counteract the MIG-15 because the F-86 was considered to heavy. And we all know what a mongrel the F-104 turned out to be, I think Yeager would have prefered the MIG-15
