There was a MiG-15 allegedly decorated with a dragon that was shot down by the pilot of "The Huff"....hence the decoration on the F-86.

True, though, dragons feature highly in Chinese culture.

 All of the Asian cultures. And in European, Nordic and Arabic.

And their role in western culture is changing, once simply a decoration in fables and a rite of passage for knights and wizards, they now can become central characters, even speaking- with Sean Connery's voice no less.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
