Because, we need Frescoes like a bunch of bored Minoans who need to decor their walls.

Reformers hate him! This one weird trick found by a bush pilot will make gunfighter obsessed old farts angry at your multi-role carrier deck line up!

MiG-17F owned by Randy Ball.  Got to see this one fly formation with two other MiG-17's at an airshow a couple years ago.

Looking forward to flying it on DCS, I had the chance to see one at the Luftwaffe Museum just before the pandemic started:

Not the same version we are getting, but still a beautiful aircraft  🙂

EGAF Lim-5s (and some MiG-17Fs) were used as fighterbombers in the 1970s (JBG-31), before being replaced by MiG-23BN (early 80s, JBG-37) and Su-22M4s (mid 80s, JBG-77 and MFG-28).

Thats not just by the road, that is in front of the Threat Training Facility. When on det there and staying in the transient barracks, I would walk past it daily. Lots of cool stuff in there... they even have a Hind.

Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

 

If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

For the record, these aren't "regular" MiG-17/Lim-5s, but Lim-6 variants - with an extra pair of pylons for air to ground weapons and a drogue chute. These remained in service until the early 90s.

The JF-17 is not better than the F-16; it's different. It's how you fly that counts.

"An average aircraft with a skilled pilot, will out-perform the superior aircraft with an average pilot."
