.it's hardly a secret that the US `owns' a number of older Migs (15,17,19,21)
.captured by various allies (notably Israel) and passed along.  note that
.generally the US doesn't have the `best' versions of these aircraft, as
.the Soviets generally don't sell the nicest ones outside of Eastern
.Europe (and probably not that anymore.)

And there was that Mig-25 that was flown to Japan 
by Viktor Belenko in the  mid 70s.
