[edit] "Russian"?

Not "Soviet"? http://www.history.com/media.do?action=clip&id=dogfights_MIG17_broadband --84.61.112.169 20:15, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I changed "was" to "is" because I saw a report on the Korea incident today stating that it was a MiG-17, but now I hear that it was a MiG-19. Now I don't know any more whether the MiG-17 is still in use. - Patrick 14:30 Feb 20, 2003 (UTC)

Is this Mig-15 or Mig-17?

This is MiG-15 because it has only 2 crests on upper surface of wing, and MiG-17 has 3 of them Radomil 17:11, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Lim-5 (MiG-17)

I took out this line:

The MiG-17 is the only type of jet-powered fighter to have been shot down by a bomber - a B-52 in Vietnam.

Me262s were shot down by B-17s, B-24s, and Lancasters. Mig-15s were shot down by B-29s Also a Mig-21 was shot down by a B-52--216.52.73.254 19:16, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Date of maiden flight

I checked the date of the maiden flight and found out, that Shavrov named the 1. january as date. Is there a proove for the 14.? To get it worse: Gunston named the 13. january..... Any suggestions? -- Stahlkocher 18:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images

The article mentions "compound sweep" on the MiG-17, and I do happen to remember that the 17 has a much sharper wing angle than the MiG-15....does someone want to check whether the images here are actually 17's and not 15's? Masterblooregard 06:52, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
