Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 Fagot
The MiG-15 is often mentioned in the same sentance as the F-86 Sabre since these two great aircraft faced off in the Korean War and gave the opposing side fits.
First introduced in 1949, trainer versions are still in active duty around the world.
The MiG-15 started life as the I-310 prototype aircraft which was derived from the troublesome MiG-9. After adding swept wings -- learned from the German aerodynamicists from WWII -- and a new engine, the aircraft was suitable for production.
The MiG-15 was powered by the Klimov RD-45 turbojet, which was a reverse engineerd Rolls-Royce Nene. The upgraded MiG-15bis was given the Klimov VK-1 turbojet. Each was capable of producing almost 6,000 lb of thrust. This example appears to be an first-gen MiG-15 since it is missing the light on the intake splitter.
