MIKOYAN-GUREVICH MIG-17PF FRESCO D

The Mig-17 is a significantly enhanced version of the MiG-15. Changes include an increase in wing sweep and other aerodynamic changes, as well as a more powerful engine in the MiG-17F, the first Soviet engine to use an afterburner. The MiG-17P was the first true all weather radar equipped interceptor available to the Soviet Union. The "PF" version also incorporated the afterburning engine found in the "F" model. The Polish built aircraft carried the designation Lim-5P. Beginning in 1971, all these aircraft were rebuilt as ground attack aircraft and re-designated Lim-6M or as camera equipped Lim-6MR reconnaissance aircraft.
