Pham Tuan born February 14, 1947 in Quoc Tuan commune , Kien Xuong District , Thai Binh Province . He was in the army , was recruited into the army Vietnam Peoples Air Force in 1965 , graduated from the military pilots in the Soviet Union in 1967 and became a flying officer of the regiment fought Sao Air Force , participated combat airspace protected North Vietnam during the Vietnam war . Between 1972 , he was one of 12 pilots selected to driver training night fighter , prepares to hit B - 52 ( night fighter requires more technical fighter than driving during the day ) . On the night of December 27, 1972 , according to official documents the history of the Peoples Army of Vietnam , he shot down a B - 52 aircraft of the United States , becoming the first to be shot down aircraft from the air and safe return , no matter if a name is Vu other pilots that have hit the B - 52 aircraft of the U.S. Air Force on 11.20.1971 (however that only one rocket to launch the B - 52 did not fall immediately but only severely damaged and are still trying to airport landing , but because of the heavy damage it beyond repair and scrapped , as was destroyed ) . The document said that the MiG - 21FM Pham Tuan took off in 22 hours 16 minutes night December 27, 1972 from Yen Bai airfield , tactically pulled high to low to avoid enemy aircrafts radar . Making the announcement ground 8-9 km from the enemy fleet , Pham Tuan pulled high and accelerating aircraft , using high speed to suddenly soars through two F - 4 escort top , making the F - 4 did not react . After the team goes over the F - 4 escort , he approached two B - 52 , B - 52 as a way of about 4 km , guided ground firing order , but Pham Tuan wait a few seconds to get closer then shot [ 1 ] . The MiG - 21 is off the radar and communications equipment for B - 52 was not detected as being pressed . He dropped a shot on the airspace west of Hanoi with 2 air- missile NHK -8-9-1-2 , then return landed Yen Bai airport . [ 2 ] . Pham Tuan said that : Since B - 52 equipped with interference temperature probe bait rocket , so he was trying to close down B - 52 at a distance of 2-3 km and then rocket launcher ( though the range of the missile is 8 km ) , in this range missiles only takes 2-3 seconds to reach the target so the B - 52 will not keep bait interference . Learning from the Universe for that ( only 1 rocket launch is not enough to lower spot B - 52 ) , he immediately launched two missiles at the target , the missile did not retain backup . After the shooting , Pham Tuan deceleration , pulling the plane up and flip the plane to escape to see the B - 52 explosion , then occupational aircraft crossed above the explosion point . However, due to the high - drag -out should escape the camera nose of the MiG- 21 was not able to capture the moments that make materials . Some sources said that U.S. missiles had missed him , the B - 52 was hit by SA - 2 missile in mid-air and then explode , causing Pham Tuan think his missiles to destroy targets . [ 3 ] But if analysis , this is very unlikely . The time from when the rocket until Pham Tuan s escape lasts only 4-5 seconds . In the space of just a split second , it is difficult to have a conversation with the same B - 52 coming out of the MiG missiles hit right from the SA - 2 launch from the ground up . Due to this achievement , the next morning (ie light 28/12 ) he was the General Vo Nguyen Giap sent e compliment . He earned the nickname Hero of Peoples Armed Forces Vietnam September 3 (1973 ) , when he was a lieutenant captain of the team record 5 , 921 Regiment , 371st Airborne Division troops . Pham Tuan shared his victory with 80 % luck , but thankfully there is opportunity , and seized the opportunity to know that they should do something new . He said : The match was not really complicated . , But that success is due to our ever poured blood , sweat for the last battle Pham Tuan was appointed in 1977 to study at Gagarin Air Force Academy ( Soviet Union ) , then he moved to the flight of the universe. Pham Tuan was selected on Friday the international fleet of Soviet Intercosmos program April 1, 1979 . His position in the initial pilot Nguyen Van Coc , Coc but later disqualified for not passing the fitness test . The same was also selected for the pilot Pham Tuan Bui Thanh Liem reserve , who will replace Pham Tuan if any unexpected problems ( Bui Thanh Liem later killed in an aircraft accident ) . Pham Tuan , along with Soviet cosmonaut Viktor Vassilyevich Gorbatko be launched into space from the Baikonur Cosmodrome aboard Soyuz 37 on July 23, 1980 , or June 12 lunar years Renewal Body , and returned to Earth July 31 aboard Soyuz 36 . They perform tasks on the Salyut 6 space station , along with two Soviet cosmonauts other . During the entire time in orbit , Pham Tuan has conducted experiments on samples dissolved minerals in zero gravity conditions . He also conducted experiments on crop strawberry ruffles . Pham Tuan Vietnam also photographed from Earth orbit . Pham Tuan in the space of 7 days , 20 hours and 42 minutes . He made a total of 142 orbits around the Earth. Pham Tuan told , many rumors he just repeatedly told the astronaut Gorbatko not play a role . Pham Tuan reiterated : I think the people that do not know anything about space flight . Spacecraft requires two operators . Gorbatko is the main driver , ship control . As I was driving women , in charge of the technical specifications , the control panel . coordination to drive the fit - pilot , who can not control what the other just watched . He was also gossip about wearing ruffles strawberry into space , said his bias homeland Pacific expert hash dirt for pigs . Pham Tuan said : It is due to carry dirt away team of scientists decide , but he can not bring anything like it brings . Strawberry ruffles easy to proliferate , sucking carbon dioxide , produce oxygen . In the universe there are many radioactive rays have an impact on people , the creatures made up of biological mutations , and brought up ruffles law is to serve the purposes of this study .
