Ok, maybe just one antique anyhow.

This Mig—17 buzzed our neighborhood today. Had to do a doible-take when I saw the camo scheme and profile....but a buddy of mine sent me a pic after it landed at a nearby airfield.



Someone has some real change in order to pay for the upkeep on one of these, not to mention bigger cojones to fly it.

Thought I would just send the OT an FYI before Biden and his bunch incorporate it into their politically-backed air force inventory.

Looks like they’ve done it up with Egyptian markings.

That thing is basically wings bolted on a jet engine.

Pretty sure that's an old Syrian flag on the tail.

And then there's the iconic Mig-17 off Hwy 80 in Forney, Texas. It's in front of an antique store but pretty sure it's not for sale.

Is that an M1A2 or M1A2 SEP?

Looks more like an F86 Sabre than a MIG but what do I know?

US had tons of Sabres.

EDIT: side by side
