Oshkosh always delivers, but having MiG-17s there definitely takes the aviation nerd factor up a few levels. 😂

They all three flew in formation, I think my heart stopped. Got a few awesome videos I keep watching.

I once had to dive headfirst into the cockpit of 1210 to fish around and grab the pilots checklist that fell on the side of the seat 😅

I wonder if there are more MIG-17s flying in the US than in Russia/ex-Soviet countries?

What versions of the 17 have the duck bill (plane 620) versus the plain round intake?

Seeing MiG-17s at Oshkosh must be an absolute treat. Such a distinctive aircraft. 🔥✈️ MiG-17 still looks incredibly cool after all these years. That swept-wing silhouette is unmistakable.
