That is NOT a Mig-29................................
The first plane was an ancient MiG-21. The ad ran for 4 days, so my guess is that it was spotted & yanked by the campaign and the Hill is just getting around to writing about it. Pierre Sprey was a contributor to the F-16/A-10 programs but since that time has been a professional crank. You want a good quote to use against Pentagon spending of a particular weapons program? Go look up Pierre’s phone number on your rolodex.
