There's a really good, really old (like 25+ years old) episode of Nova called "TopGun and Beyond" where a Viet Nam era fighter pilot said exactly that.

Then he goes on to describe an engagement where the MiG didn't :-)

Found it on YouTube. Yay!! Now I don't have to watch my poorly-recorded-from-broadcast-TV VHS version.

Duke Cunningham is in there.

Too bad he went the corruption route later in life:

Wow, this is great. I read a lot about aviation history when I was younger but it was amazing to watch it and much more in depth about certain topics.
