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. How do you think the MiG-17 compared to the American-built F-86 Sabre? #aviation #airshow #oshkosh #warbirds #mig17 | AvPay.aero

In the skies it clashed head-to-head with the F-86 Sabre, a duel that defined early jet combat. The Sabre claimed glory in Korea, but the MiG-17 proved it could still bite hard in Vietnam against more modern U.S. fighters. If you had to strap in for a dogfight, would you choose the MiG-17 or the F-86? #aviation #aviationlovers #aviationdaily | AvPay.aero | Facebook

No fewer than FOUR MiG-17s flying together - something that's only ever happened at two airshows in America. This occasion was at Barksdale AFB in 2025. | This is Flight
