Mig 17F. Not really one of the first, but one of the first with an afterburner. These Russian made MIGs became well known to most of US folks who watched the Viet Nam updates on the evening news in the 60s.

Yup. Mig-17 indeed. Great fighter.
Frank Brault02-Nov-2010 19:25
A fantastic shot of that old soviet jet fighter.

great shot Cindi..now if you had a USAF F-86 Sabre jet in hot pursuit that would be cool....
Mike Stobbs01-Nov-2010 22:52
Cool Cindi, The MiG-17 looked a lot like the F-86 Sabre, but the Jet goes way back to the late 30's the British turned down prototypes and the Germans put them in the air first with the ME262, but the Brit's where soon to follow with the Meteor in 1945....I have only seen one other MiG-17 fly. braVo...Mike

Yep, it's a MiG-17 - a type that first flew in 1950. They really proved themselves in the Korean War.
Really nice shot here Cindi.
Jay Levin01-Nov-2010 18:30
