MIKOYAN-GUREVICH MIG-17 close look at @hunterwarbirds 😮🔥! This MiG-17F on display is a Polish License built version of the MiG-17F produced in Poland by the WSK-Mielec factory and is an interceptor Lim-5P (equivalent to the Soviet produced MiG-17PF) produced in the mid-1950s. The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 NATO reporting name was Fresco. The MiG-17 was a high-subsonic transitional fighter designed to be a transonic evolution of the earlier MiG 15 design prior to the true supersonic MiG-19 and 21

The MiG-17 wasn’t just another Soviet jet, it was built to take on America’s best. In the skies it clashed head-to-head with the F-86 Sabre, a duel that defined early jet combat. The Sabre claimed glory in Korea, but the MiG-17 proved it could still bite hard in Vietnam against more modern U.S. fighters. If you had to strap in for a dogfight, would you choose the MiG-17 or the F-86? #aviation #aviationlovers #aviationdaily | AvPay.aero
