It was supposed to be an intercept mission, but a combination of ground fire and other MiGs killed them before I got into range, so I had a free flight to just cruise around the Korean countryside in 1951.

KPAAF MiG-15.01

 

During Korea War the MiG-15, flown by soviet pilots, had 3-digit black numbers. The tactical number was made by the last 3 digits of the serial (production) number of the plane.

It's not my skin. I was flying 'blue' and just had a look around at who else was in the air.

Ye-8 aka MiG-23F

Built in 2 prototypes in 1962. It was nearly as agile as a F-16A, which was developed 10 years later. Development canceled in favor of Ye-231, later called MiG-23S swing wing fighter plane.

serious question, would the 17 have had the legs to fight over south England for a while? or would it have been jet age Me 109s, ten minutes on station and then its really time to go home?

With a range of 1.000 km and 1.900 km with droptanks, the MiG-17 would have had the legs to fight over South England.
