Have Drill

Have Drill was the name of the Defense Intelligence Agency project to evaluate and develop tactics against a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 acquired from Israel in 1968. The Syrian Air Force MiG-17 landed at Betzet in northern Israel, mistaking it for Lebanon. Israel transferred the aircraft to the United States; it received United States Air Force (USAF) designations and fake serial numbers and became part of the USAF Tactical Fighter Weapons Center Area 51 test fleet.
