	The Mig 17F/PF/PM "Fresco C/D/E" fighters - Part I
		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.
		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.

	[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.

	Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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.
		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.

	Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		It was estimated, that with the same engine, as MiG-15bis, maximum speed is higher by 40–50 km/h, and greater maneuverability at high altitude.

	Air War over Vietnam F-4 Phantom, Mig-17, Mig-21, Migs, Kills, Losses, Aces, Tactics
		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.
		Early in the war encounters between Migs and U.S. jets were rare but they increased steadily as the conflict grew larger.

	DML 1/72 MiG-17 Fresco
		The 17 saw extensive combat in Vietnam, where it proved that gun armed aircraft were still viable, and influenced the Americans to arm their jets with guns, and not just missiles.
		DML's kit of the 17 is nice but not up to par with some of their other releases.
		I began my 17 by assembling the tail unit and the drop tanks.

		Mikoyan, Mikoyan-Gurevich, or MiG (Russian: Микоян, Микоян-Гуревич or МиГ) is a Russian military aircraft manufacturer.
		Mikhail Iosifovich Gurevich Mikhail Iosifovich Gurevich Russian language: Михаил Иосифович Гуревич (December 31, 1892 - November, 1976) was a Soviet aircraft designer, a partner (with Artem Mikoyan) of the famous MiG military aviation bureau.

		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.
		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.
		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.

		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.
		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.

	MiG-17 FRESCO - Russia / Soviet Nuclear Forces
		In 1949, the Mikoyan-Gurevich (MiG) design bureau began work on a new fighter to replace the MiG-15.
		Two features of the aircraft were a thinner wing of greater sweep and a redesigned tail that improved stability and handling at speeds approaching Mach 1 (speed of sound).

	Vietnamese Aces
		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.
		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.

	New roles for protein modifications in cell migration
		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.
		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.
		However, the means by which MIG-17 coordinates the timing and direction of the developing gonadfs progress though the larval body has remained unknown.

		The new fighter received the NATO code name "Fresco", and at the time little was known in the west about any of the MiG's.
		Improved versions were developed, and the MiG-lTF's (NATO code "Fresco C") Klimov engine was fitted with a simple, but effective afterburner to enhance its performance still further.

		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.
		This would focus the fire at a fixed point in front of the MiG.
		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.
