Cutaway Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-17PFU, the fighter that after his passage through the skies of Vietnam dictated chair of what should be a fighter, wrote the requirements of what in the future would be a remarkable fighter General Dynamics F-16, light and with a spectacular maneuverability thanks to its weight / thrust ratio 1/1, this considered early bird proved its worth in that Asian theater, in a humid and difficult environment where it was always ready to enter combat and that gave a great number of victories to a handful of Vietnamese pilots who acquired the status of "Aces", reason for the creation of the combat school of the US Navy and the Marine Corps, developing techniques of close combat that would allow them to face the agile (and cheap) guarantee of success ) Soviet fighter, this meant that if a MiG-17 was lost, it was not a great material loss while the US fighter cost 4 to 10 times more without leaving his crew and his crew Training, in this last point that the Vietnamese pilots were not disposable as some pretended to say, they were highly respected by the political and military leadership attaining the status of "Heroes" in that society. For now this is the only cutaway of the MiG-17 PFU Fresco in the classic Mike Badrocke technique that I have located, it was published in the magazine "Air Enthusiast" in its edition of # 60 of November / December 1995, but it is a lot to ask and some friend has access to a newspaper library or better yet has that much appreciated edition scan and share it here, for the enjoyment of all and especially this server that has some plans for retouching little known versions of it ... ! But that will come later. in advance thanks, Motocar
