On October 5, 1969, Lieutenant Eduardo Jimenez of the Cuban Air Force defected to the United States in a MiG-17 Fresco A. He landed at Homestead Air Force Base, Florida, and parked his aircraft right next to Air Force One. President Nixon was at his home on Key Biscayne at the time, and the fact that a Cuban Air Force Fighter could fly through the air defenses of the Air Base and land next to the president’s aircraft caused considerable alarm and consternation.
