	MIG 15/17 -Jet Warbird Training Center - training for civilian pilots in Santa Fe, New Mexico
		Mig 15's were produced from 1946 to 1955.
		At their height, there were 30 countries with the Mig 15 in their inventory.
		The Mig 15 is not an entry level jet and must be flown carefully.

	The Mig 17F/PF/PM "Fresco C/D/E" fighters - Part I
		This is the SP-1 Prototype of the MIG 17F clearly visible is the widened exhaust to accommodate the afterburner and the redesigned rear fuselage.
		The Mig 17 was produced under license in Poland as the Lim-5 and Lim-6 in several sub variants that improved the design considerably, especially by adding a weapons pylon inboard of the drop tanks.
		The various variants of the Mig 17 be they Soviet made or license produced served with the air forces of at least 25 countries and continued to be effective, both as fighter bombers and as pure fighters in dogfights and short/medium range missile engagements at lower altitudes into the late 1970s.

	Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Even the F-86 Sabre, introduced in December 1950, was inferior to the MiG-15 in many respects, although superior tactics and pilot training often allowed UN pilots to get the upper hand.
		Desperate to get hold of an intact MiG for testing, the United States offered $100,000 and political asylum to any pilot who would defect with their airplane.
		Eventually a North Korean pilot, who claimed to be unaware of the proferred reward, landed at Kimpo Air Base in September 1953, allowing the first detailed evaluation of the aircraft.

	[2.0] The Mikoyan MiG-17
		In 1949, the MiG OKB was ordered to design a derivative of the MiG-17 with improved performance, with the derivative aircraft to be built in both fighter and all-weather interceptor versions.
		MiG designers had been considering a new wing for the MiG-15 with a 45 degree sweep instead of the original 35 degree sweep, and proceeded to design a modified version of the MiG-15bis with the new wing.
		Another trick was to fly a natural-metal MiG at low altitude, where it was like likely to be "bounced" by American fighters -- which would then be led into a trap in the form or other MiGs, SAM or AAA sites, or both.

		Early in the war encounters between Migs and U.S. jets were rare but they increased steadily as the conflict grew larger.
		On 17 June, two Midway F-4 Phantoms registered the first kills in the long conflict when they downed two MiG-17s south of Hanoi.
		All of the Crusader MiG kills (with the possible exception of two or three) were made by the Sidewinder air-to-air missile.

	MIKOYAN
		The MiG company was founded as an independent design department in December 1939 by Artem Mikoyan, a young aviation designer who had grown up in a remote Asian village.
		Few MiG interceptors, in fact, saw action during World War II, and it was only in the postwar era that the organization, known by then as the Experimental Design Bureau No. 155 (OKB-155), grew rapidly in size and influence.
		These included the MiG-15 (which shocked Western forces in the Korean War with its speed and agility), the MiG-17 (capable of supersonic speeds), the MiG-19 (the first mass-produced Soviet supersonic fighter), and the MiG-21 (known by the NATO codename "Fishbed"), which is quite possibly the most famous of all Soviet fighter planes.

	The MiG-21 Page - Warbirds 1
		Basic differences between the 15 and 17 are the wing, 10 degrees greater in sweep, much thinner and with a higher critical mach number in the 17 compared to the 15.
		The 17 is transsonic and shows no adverse flight characteristics in high speed flight, yet is more predictible in the high G high Alpha regime than the 15 ever was.
		The drawback to the 17 is that you have to be truly selfish to have one, they virtually all being single seat fighters and all of the afterburning ones being single seat.

		Despite the SI prototype crash on March 17, 1950, tests of other prototype SI-2 and experimental series aircraft SI-02 and SI-01, in 1951, were generally successful, and on September 1, 1951 the aircraft was accepted for a production.

	Mikoyan-Gurevich Fresco MiG-17
		Despite the SI prototype's crash on March 17 1950, tests of another prototype "SI-2" and experimental series aircraft "SI-02" and "SI-01" in 1951, were generally successful, and on September 1 1951 the aircraft was accepted for production.
		It was estimated that with the same engine as the MiG-15's, the MiG-17's maximum speed is higher by 40-50 km/h, and the fighter has greater maneuverability at high altitude.
		To redress disappointing combat performance against smaller, more agile fighters like the MiGs, the Americans established dissimilar air combat training programs such as "Top Gun", which employed subsonic A-4 Skyhawk and F-5 Freedom Fighter aircraft to mimic more maneuverable opponents such as the MiG-17.

	Vietnamese Aces
		They did not expect any MiGs, which had been inactive after several bloody defeats dealt them by the Phantoms of the 8th TFW in late May and early June.
		The MIGs made fast and devastating attacks against US formations from several directions (usually the MiG-17s performed head-on attacks and the MiG-21s attacked from the rear).
		But those MiGs were actually only a bait; suddenly two MiG-21PFMs of the 927th FR appeared, piloted by Nguyen Doc Soat (leader) and Ngo Duy Thu (wingman), who took the escorting F-4Es by surprise.

	New roles for protein modifications in cell migration
		The gene mig-17, which Nishiwaki previously showed to be essential to this guided movement, is expressed in muscle cells and secreted into the body cavity where it binds to the migrating gonadal tip cells.
		Distal tip cells in worms engineered to lack the MIG -17 protein fail to steer cell migration properly, resulting in abnormal development and a emeanderingf gonad phenotype.
		However, the means by which MIG-17 coordinates the timing and direction of the developing gonadfs progress though the larval body has remained unknown.

		Where the book is weakest is in its examination of the tactical utilization of MiG 17 and 19 aircraft, "cross-cultural" comparisons with American aircraft and tactics, and the role of Russian pilots and intercept controllers.
		The author shows a familiarity with Soviet-bloc tactical air doctrine but does not adequately describe the integration of defense systems so the reader understands how the defenses of North Vietnam worked as a system - the 17s and 19s were critical within that system.

		N619M is actually a Polish built Lim 6bis which is the last derivative of the MiG 17.
		I purchased it from the Polish government in 1992, while I was in Poland, and it had just come out of service with the Polish Air Force.
		The Lim 6bis is distinguished from earlier MiG 17 models in that this model carries two UB16-57 rocket pods.

		I don't know for sure but I imagine the 37mm cannon was inclined to fire at a slightly geater upwards angle thant the 23mm.
		This would focus the fire at a fixed point in front of the MiG.
		I can't imagine there would be any technical obstacles to firing the guns simultaneously and given the importance of the MiG-15/17's primary role as a bomber destroyer, I am sure it could do this.
