The US used the now retired F-14 Tomcat for their carrier strike force. It has since been replaced by the F-35. The enemies (Russia, Korea?) were said to have migs, however they really used an American trainer known as the F-5 in place of real migs, as to why they did this i am not quite sure; perhaps availability reasons...
Hope this helps!

Officially: Fighter pilots and aircrewmen, such as the two B-52 tail gunners that shot down NVAF MIGs in 1972. If those "kills" are not confirmed; they are treated as "probables."

Other than being the primary supplier of the Russian air force for fighters and using the same weapons there is no difference. Sukhoi fighters are much larger and more maneuverable while Migs are cheaper. Though in this case you DO get what you paid for.

India buys its jet planes from Russia and is trying to develop some of its own. India has a wide range of MiGs. India also has the advanced fighter aircarfts like the Sukhoi Su-47.

NORTH Vietnam, during the war, never exceeded approximately 200 MiGs at any one given time. When they were lost (shot down) they were replaced, on a one for one basis; unless a new squadron was being formed. The majority of MiGs in the NVAF were MiG17s, followed by Mig21s, with the lowest amount being the MiG19s (mostly the J6 versions supplied by Red China). A fair estimate of NVAF MiG21s during the war might be between 60 and 80 jets. NVAF MiG17/MiG21 drivers were trained in the USSR, while MiG19 (J6) NVAF pilots were trained in Red China.

The North Viet air defense systems. Their ground & air defenses were highly sophisticated with the latest in Soviet/Chicom (J6 series jets/aka MiG19s) technology. NVAF MiGs often decoyed US jets over those defense systems (friendly fire also brought down several MiGs). US airmen had to fly bombing missions over the most heavily defended air space in military history. Consequence? Thousands of shot down hi-priced jets and hundreds of US POWs. Additionally, the US dropped more than 3 times as many bombs over N/S Vietnam than it did against Germany during all of WWII.

Serving in country; or serving in a capacity that connected him to enemy contact during the war. Example: A B-52 crewman stationed on the island of Guam, in the Pacific Ocean, is no where near Vietnam. But as soon as his bomber is over target in North Vietnam, he's exposed to enemy MIGs and SAMs. If and when his bomber safely lands back at Guam, he's a Vietnam Veteran.

Language evolves, this is a fact that has to be dealt with.

While the US Army & Marine Corps were fighting in South Vietnam (RVN) the US Air Force and air units of the US Navy were fighting an air war in the skies over North Vietnam. The "Air War" was Operation Rolling Thunder, which lasted from 1965 thru November 1968. North Viet MiGs vs US jets; North Viet ground defense systems (SAMs and AAA) vs US jets. The vast majority of US POWs were jet pilots.

"Thus, the 'absurd' Zubiri claim of having been cheated in 18,316 precincts would assure that Migs will complete the six-year term of a Senator even when, clearly, Koko Pimentel should be sitting in Zubiri's senate seat!"
by Ducky Paredes
The latest count by the Senate Electoral Tribunal (SET) in the electoral protest filed by Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III against Sen. Miguel "Migs" Zubiri gives Pimentel a commanding lead of 65, 261 votes over Zubiri. This was in the 2007 elections, when Migs took the last slot with Koko in 13th place.
Now, after the Senate Electoral Tribunal finished counting the ballots in the 644 pilot precincts in nine Mindanao municipalities identified by Pimentel as those where the count was erroneous, Koko is actually much ahead.
When Zubiri was proclaimed, he held a lead of 19,292 votes over Pimentel, but his lead was down to 17,251 after Pimentel gained 773 votes from post-proclamation special elections and 1,268 votes more due to errors found in the ARRM regional vote total.
Pimentel's camp reached the net gain of 65,261 votes from the 644 pilot precincts - Zubiri lost a total of 69,177 votes and 3,916 votes was taken from Pimentel.
Koko says that, based on their projections, he also stands to gain additional votes of 31,097 in Sultan Kudarat, 3,422 votes in Matungao, Lanao del Norte and 4,032 votes in the ninth pilot municipality of Tapul, Sulu.
All of these are from the precincts identified by Koko Pimentel as those where he was cheated,
Now, the SET must look at the precincts identified by Migs Zubiri in his counter-protest. The SET is a long way off from finishing their count in the 18,316 precincts that Migs wants counted. This is 18 times the number of precincts protested by Pimentel - 644 vs. 18,316!
Koko says that the Zubiri counter-complaint is "absurd." Of course, it is; sadly, this is allowed by the rules of the electoral tribunal. Based on his claim, Zubiri, having been given only 84 days to present his evidence by the SET, has asked for 620 days! Not counting weekends and holidays when the canvassers will not be working, this will mean that the canvassing will not end until the last few months of the term that, in Pimentel's reckoning, should have been his. Thus, the "absurd" Zubiri claim of having been cheated in 18,316 precincts would assure that Migs will complete the six-year term of a Senator even when, clearly, Koko Pimentel should be sitting in Zubri's senate seat!"
How would Migs do that? All he needs is for his lawyers to file motions for reconsideration, temporary restraining orders (TRO) and such for him to complete the six-year term of a Senator. Koko's supporters argue that while a congressman shut out of his congressional seat is already a scandal, imagine that a senator represents not just one congressional district but is voted on by the whole nation; thus, 90 million persons are disenfranchised and under-represented because of Migs' delaying tactics.
Then, there are also cases of electoral fraud mentioned in the resolutions of the Senate Electoral Tribunal, which is composed of three justices of the Supreme Court and six senators chosen on the basis of proportional representation of political parties, represented in the. Senate.
The poll frauds pinpointed by the SET based on Pimentel's counter-protest were all committed in the provinces of Maguindanao and Lanao del Norte allegedly by fake voting syndicates.
SET Resolution's No. 07-27 dated July 17, 2008 ruled that 98.15% of the ballots cast in the first six of the nine pilot municipalities identified by Pimentel were found to be spurious and were thus nullified.
In Sultan Kudarat, a syndicate was found to have emptied 197 out of the 198 ballot boxes. The 198th ballot box contained 11 fake ballots. Wails Pimentel: "The facts speak for themselves. There were 39,327 registered voters in Sultan Kudarat, 37,904 of whom allegedly voted, of which 33,888 allegedly voted for Mr. Zubiri. But where are the ballots? They are all gone."
The Senate and the country as a whole should learn a lesson from these massive electoral frauds. If the country is to have clean and honest elections in 2010, the SET should immediately decide the Pimentel-Zubiri case to make sure that the lessons learned will be better appreciated.
The SET would be showing its patriotism and fidelity to the Constitution and our democratic principles if it decides the Pimentel-Zubiri case as soon as possible.
One problem may be that the SET as in HRET, in the Congress, are beholden to the protesting parties. As long as one party can produce the funds for the recount wherever he wants a recount, the SET and the HRET are duty-bound to accept recounts in these areas. Thus, when in the face of a clear loss, one party calls for recounts even in areas where he has clearly lost - fair and square - the SET cannot do anything but allow the unnecessary recount.
Still, Pimentel wondered what additional evidence Zubiri could possibly produce when the ballots in his own counter-protest failed to support his claim of being also a victim of poll fraud.
"If the ballots did not show any fraud committed against him (Zubiri), then what other evidence could possibly show the alleged fraud? I believe nothing can and nothing will," said Pimentel in a power point presentation to media.
"For in reality, Zubiri was not cheated. For in reality, Zubiri was the beneficiary of massive systematic cheating."

The sharpest possible turn, and then accelerate (after burners). The only problems were the following:
1. Crashing into another jet within your flight (3 plane cells).
2. Flying into another SAM or AAA flak. (Flak & SAMs worked together as a tm).
3. Flying into a NVAF MiG. (SAMs & MiGs worked together as a team).
4. Burning up your fuel, so now you can't make it home.

In 1974 Anna Kreisling worked closely with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to help train their fighter Squadrons and also their C-130 Transport Squadrons. Anna has a wonderful opinion of Arab Culture which she admires. Also another fact is well known is that she has also worked with the Pakistani Air Force on how to fly and defeat the Russian Migs that the Indian Air Force operates. Anna has also flown emergency supplies into Pakistan flying the C-130.

Yes; MiGs against F-100 jets, PT76 against Patton tanks, infantrymen fighting infantrymen; artillery fighting artillery (called counter-battery fire). One nation fighting another nation; both had political leadership and a national flag.
I'd say no since U.S didn't declare war. It was more of a Proxy war.( proxy warfare is a war that results when opposing powers use third parties as substitutes for fighting each other directly.)

None were officially recognized by the US of A, but one man, Pham Tuan, a NV Mig-21 Pilot was reported to have shot down a B-52 on 10/27/52. If it isn't true, he was still awarded the Ho Chi Minh Order and Order of Lenin along with the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. He eventually went on to become a cosmonaut and is now a Lt Gen in Vietnam.
This is the only claim with sufficient evidence to back it.
All other B-52s were reported shot down by SAMs.

The F8 Crusader had one of the highest kill ratios against enemy MiGs during the Viet War.
Currently, the deadliest fighter would probably be either the Russian Su-37 Terminator or the American F/A-18 Superhornet. The Terminator is probably deadlier in a dogfight because it has thrust vectoring which allows it maneuver sharply. The Superhornet is deadly because it is so versitile. That is why it has two designations: F for fighter and A for attack. That means it is built to take out targets on the ground and targets in the air. The F/A-18 is also used by the Blue Angels stunteam.

SAM's (Surface to Air Missiles), known by US Airmen as the "Flying Telephone Poles" were part of North Vietnam's air defensive network. They worked in conjunction with North Vietnam's Air Force; NVAF MIG-17, MIG-19, and MIG-21 jet intercepters would often dog-fight US jets, then lure them over the SAM sites...breaking contact to let the SAM's deal with the US aircraft. Didn't always work, sometimes the SAMs took out (shot down) some of their own MIGs (friendly fire).

Yes and no. It was originally designed as a high altitude interceptor. Which means to fly really fast, reach altitude really fast and shoot down Soviet bombers. however during the Vietnam war, in the hands of a skilled pilot, the Phantom could use its superior thrust to weight ratio and advanced weapons platform to defeat MIGS. It was so successful that it became know as the world's leading distributor of MIG parts. It could more than hold its own against Soviet fighters of the day such as the MIG-21

Fighter bomber. The only USAF fighter bomber designed as such, during the cold war, was the F-105 Thunderchief; the primary bomber over North Vietnam. But it was also a fighter, and shot down about 27 NVAF MiGs in aerial combat (dog-fights).
