I was a crew chief on F-4 Phantoms during the Vietnam war. I volunteered to go to Nam, but was sent to Japan, Okinawa and three times to S. Korea in a span of two years without once coming home. During one of my TDY assignments to Korea, we had an alarm go off that something / someone penetrated our air space, uninvited. We scrambled two of our F-4's and two Korean jets. We had radios and could hear some of what was going on. Turns out, a North Korean pilot was defecting and brought a MIG 23 with him. He simply stated his purposes and asked "Where do you want it?". It helped in our efforts in the war in Vietnam, with regards to our F-4's. History in the making.
