Pull out and up over the ridge … exposing his aircraft to the blue skies for the Sidewinder to lock on target … MIG-17F ... by Pedro Caparros

Nice work to go with the story! He'll be twisting and turning his way out of that situation.

The crew of Phamtom, were asking screaming for a cannon. But the designers and "desk pilots", believed that the cannon was obsolete and did not put. Until version "F4-E". A skilled pilot, on board a plane agile as the MIG-17, could have escaped from a situcion like this. Thank you very much for the mention.

In this case Pedro this pilot did not ... as soon as he pulled up over the ridge, the Phantom's pilot saw blue sky and lit the sidewinder ... 1 MIG17 down ...
