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

US had tons of Sabres.

that is NOT a Sabre.. it is most certainly a MIG17 fresco

Definitely is a Mig and not an F86. Look at the tail.

There's a MiG 15 sunk in the mud somewhere in the Atchafalaya Swamp. A Baton Rouge man who was flying one from LFT to BR disappeared off of radar sometime in the 1980's. Never found him or the plane.

Fighter Jets, Inc

There are currently 6 N Registered Mig-17s in the USA according to the FAA Website.

I remember reading about this a few years back.

A Florida Company Is Selling Soviet MiG Fighter Jets in Prime Condition

You can have a MiG-29 for the low low price of $4.65 million dollars.

And then there's the iconic Mig-17 off Hwy 80 in Forney, Texas.

I've seen it. Somebody needs to fix it up. Everything can be sold for the right price.

Bingo. they are making F-16's for Iraq out there these days. I have several contacts out there and they confirmed validity of OP's post.

A guy was flying a MiG 15 from LFT to BTR in the 1980's and disappeared from radar somewhere in between the two airports. He and the plane went down somewhere in the Atchafalaya Basin and have never been found. They're most likely under 20 feet of mud.

A lot of history there. Air Force one was there for refurb one time.

Saw an F-86 and a Mig-15 mock dogfighting once. Probably the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Not a replica, there are a small number of older MIGs privately owned, and flown in the US.

These competing designs looked like air sharks to me, very elemental. Here’s a great breakdown on a Korean War dogfight between the two.
