Based on the US receiving Mig-21 F-13s from Indonesia, is there any info out there about US / NATO technical hands-on evaluations of the Beagles or Badgers used by that nation?

I'll ask a source...

I know from talking to one of the guys on an early 'extraction' that US also acquired a single MiG-19 from Indonesia at the same time as it collected the first two or three MiG-21s, but there was no mention of Tu-16 or Il-28. It could be that these were technically evaluated on-site.

Cheers
