Even decades after its debut, it still serves in active air forces today. Come experience this legend in person ✈️ #AviationLovers #SupersonicFlight #Warbird #AirMuseum | Warhawk Air Museum

A Romanian MiG-21 at the Farnborough Airshow 1996. Although an old airframe, it had been updated with new sensors and avionics, with its crew saying that these updated MiGs were still competitive compared to contemporary western fighters. | PlanesTV.com

Here are my three favourite FlyPasts of the MiG 17 Soviet era jet fighter at Oshkosh Airshow. The MiG 17 first flew in January 1950, entered service in 1952 and was armed with a powerful 37 mm cannon and two 23 mm cannons, giving it a fearsome punch for its time.
