At the tail of that clip they were starting to talk about Victor Belenko which is a great story too: http://www.amazon.com/Mig-Pilot-Fina.../dp/0380538687

Yeah, no point in risking a high-speed landing crackup or loss of control on short final (which would be fatal) just to bring home an airplane which was already wrecked anyway.

All the video is fake re-creations. Just the stills at the end are real.
