Over the years I had Business with the old Foreign Technology Division (FTD). It has changed names and Org structure more than any unit on base. On one tour I was allowed to see their Foreign Aircraft storage area. They got many Soviet era aircraft and other weapons from Israel and the now common Germany's. www.airspacemag.com/military-aviation/truth-about-mig-29-180952403/Over the years FTD has studied both Soviet and Chinese military equipment and has extracted data base of most news agencies in world to collect and understand how countries interact as well as their weapons systems. For last 15 years or so they have had a MIG 29 on static display outside Main Entrance to facility. I see it on most trips to base as it is just past main gate at first intercection to the Left as you enter. You can park and walk around it as with most static displays. Just more trivia. Lorin
