I received this note from the author, Thomas R. Woodford “The HAVE DOUGHNUT briefing you just posted is incomplete. Someone posted it to the internet long ago and left off every comparison after the F-4. I gave that briefing up at EAA Airventure Oshkosh in 2000 I think. Attached is a pdf of the full briefing that includes covering more fighters and bombers vs. the MiG-21.”
So, here is the complete report! Many thanks to Tom!

From Wikipedia: “Have Doughnut was the name of a Defense Intelligence Agency project whose purpose was to evaluate and exploit a MiG-21 "Fishbed-E" that the United States Air Force acquired in 1967 from Israel. Israel acquired the aircraft as the result of its Operation Diamond when, on August 16, 1966, Iraqi Air Force pilot Capt. Munir Redfa, in a defection pre-arranged by the Israeli Mossad intelligence agency, flew it to Israel during a training flight. In this multi-service project, Air Force and United States Navy pilots evaluated the MiG-21, redesignated as the "YF-110", in a variety of situations. The aircraft was referred to as "The Doughnut" due to the doughnut-shaped intake at the aircraft nose; this led to the project name "Have Doughnut". The inability of the Navy to disseminate the results of this highly classified project to combat pilots was part of the impetus to create the United States Navy Fighter Weapons School. The Have Doughnut tests were conducted at Groom Lake. A similar project occurred a year later known as Have Drill, which used a MiG-17 Fresco acquired in the same manner.”
