Default Feather Duster I and II programs

Hello

When I have read Clashes some time ago, I found interesting part about
Feather Duster tests. Sadly I wasnt long and focused mostly on
tactics. About a/c involved was writen only that old F-86H have
simulated MiG-17 in Feather Duster 1 (in FD 2 were bigger formations
used) and among the others F-105 and F-4 were tested in combats.
Were also other USAF fighters participating on this program?
Was it sole USAF test or also USN fighters were involved?
And was also simulated by some types (possibly F-106 like on Top Gun)?
