The MiG-17
was designed as an improvement on the MiG-15. Although similar in
appearance, the MiG-17 is actually larger and the wing sweep in
different than the MiG-15. It also features an engine with
afterburners. There are currently only about 12 MiG-17s flying in the
United States. It is quite something to see and for an early jet, is
surprisingly quiet.
