Preowned, Original seal, Mint

The MiG-17 was a thorough refinement of the MiG-15, with a new thinner wing of greater sweep and a lengthened fuselage that cured the earlier fighter's high-speed handling problems. The F model added an afterburning VK-1F engine and became the most widely produced variant, licence-built in Poland as the Lim-5 and in China as the J-5. Many survived into civilian hands, and this AZ model boxing covers three special schemes: two American warbird MiG-17s on the airshow circuit and a Polish Air Force aircraft painted for its final flight in 1993.
