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

Egyptian MiG-17Fs from Bright Star 81 and 82. The lower one can be noted for having the launch rails of the 80mm Sakr rocket.

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  🙂

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.
