Mikoyan/Gurevich MiG-29

The most infamous exploit of the MiG-29 came on February 24, 1996, when two MiG-29s shot down two Cessna 337 Skymaster planes in use with the Cuban exile humanitarian group Hermanos al Rescate (Brothers to the Rescue) that were planning to drop anti-communist leaflets over Havana to sway the Cuban people to rise up against Fidel Castro. Four men were killed in the shootdown (a third Skymaster, piloted by the BTTR founder Jose Basulto, a veteran of the Bay of Pigs invasion, was lucky to escape being downed). The shootdown was deliberate like the KAL Flight 007, because Castro saw the BTTR shootdown as an act of self-defense against supposedly unlawful incursions by Cuban American groups into Cuban airspace. The Trump administration's rushed activation of Title III of Helms-Burton (this action has led to few lawsuits so far) is a long-term consequence of the shootdown, one of the many reasons brought up by most Cuban Americans as to why Fidel Castro should never have been born.

Those American MiG-29s were originally put on the open market by I think Moldovia, and were purchased by the US to keep them from various bad guys ie. Iraq

Prior to the Soviet Union collapsing, the Navy Top Gun School was at Miramar in Ca. They used A-4's and F-5's for the aggressor squadron. Top Gun merged with the Strike Warfare School (bombing) at Fallon Naval Air Station in Northern Nevada. After The Wall fell the Russkies are so broke they'll do or sell anything for a buck. Anybody can go to Fallon and see all the MIG 29's you want on the flight line painted up just like the nasty boys. They put on a public air show once a year and you can see mock dogfights between our best stuff and the Russkies.
