I have a date with a contest model ...

[robklurfield]

She is a MiG 15. A photo from her sitting for me is in the fsu contest gallery. She is quite the pouter ...

So my first guess was on the right track

 

[paulfish4570]

Yes, sort of.

 

[robklurfield]

nice shots. that guy with life vest in the last shot looks like a bit of a dummy.

 

[paulfish4570]

Shots made with FED-2(d), I-50, xp2, low light.

Thanks. And yes, Rob, you could say that ...

There were 4 MIG that were once purchased from China for the USA. I know the pilot who was the first US citizen to own and fly a MIG. He lives in Pensacola.

no, no, Chris. it is the actual mig of the story.

cool, Raid. warbird ownership is soooooooooooo expensive - but fun.
