The Rat Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 My mental identification skills are leaving me in old age. Wings like an F-84, wing fences like a MiG-17. It's on Google maps at the Derby Airfield near Lovelock, Nevada. Copy and paste GPS coordinates 40.070505560596615, -118.56910348144933 to get a look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Rat Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Thanks, got it now. For some reason I remembered a 15 as having an even wing chord from base to tip, didn't think to look for a 3-view. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pollie Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The MiG-15 has two fences per wing, while the MiG-17 has three. That helps in identifying them on satellite pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
