That's a Polish built Mig-17. Guy at Santa Barbara bought a Polish built Mig-15 back in the mid-80's. He already had an F-86F. I went looking for it one Saturday and found it sitting in a puddle of water. Guy who walked by said they had fueled it and tried to start it for the first time, only to have JP gushing out of every hole in it. They flushed away the JP and went to lunch. So I went all over the thing, taking pictures. My shoes smelled like JP for weeks.
