Narrative:535th IAP, 32th IAD. This MiG was shot down by the F-86 flown by Capt Harold Fisher of the 51th FIW 16th FIS. The MiG pilot was observed ejecting. In the same mission Fisher engaged a PLAAF MiG, I fired a burst that struck right behind the canopy and the MIG immediately snapped into a spin at about 30,000 ft and he spun all the way into the ground.
