I don’t think he was real, but the pilot who engaged Cunningham and Driscoll was no doubt one of the better flyers in the VPAF at the time. I imagine the guy they engaged was likely an ace, but I doubt his name will ever be revealed.
Regarding the comment on the MiG-17 in the museum being a fake, I’d say it’s quite obvious to anyone who knows about that particular engagement that the real jet obviously wouldn’t be on display because it was smashed into a million pieces by Cunningham & Driscoll’s Sidewinder followed by impact into the ground. 🙂
I agree that one Mig-17 was shootdown by Cunninghan & Driscoll, but are you shure that the “3020” was the concrete plane downed? Have you any evidence about the serial?
I think that the plane at the USA museum was painted in the “3020” scheme, based in the available pictures. But is just an opininon.
