Historic Offering - Original Russian Mig-15 ""fagot"" Fighter Jet

Unique offering of an Original Russian MiG-15 Fighter. Rare, 1 seat fighter configuration first introduced in 1947. The MiG-15 proved to be a formidable opponent in the Korea war, matched only by the legendary F-86 which was actually only comparable due to the level of Pilot skill. The aircraft has been disassembled in order to be trailered to its present location but cockpit & all air surfaces are intact as well as the engine. Vendor reports the aircraft lacks only its armament systems. Sadly it shows age from weather exposure but would restore to at least display condition and is priced accordingly. This aircraft will be sold to winning bidder where is, as is so shipping arrangements by truck from the state of Georgia will be required unless you are able to pick it up. It is already on a trailer that is included in the sale but its tires and mechanical condition would not support the transport of the aircraft as it is. A very reasonable opportunity to own a true piece of aviation history at a level seldom encountered in collecting circles! ""The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 was originally developed in the Soviet Union as an interceptor. The RD-45 turbojet powered it, which was a copy of the Rolls Royce Nene. Designed to shoot down heavy bombers, it carried one 37mm and two 23mm cannons. German experience in WWII had shown the need for cannons larger than 20 mm to bring down four-engine heavy bombers. The prototype MiG-15 first flew in December 1947. It began appearing in service in 1949 and by 1952 it had been provided to a number of Communist satellite nations, including North Korea where it was used extensively against United Nations forces. The MIG-15 was deployed against American Air Forces in December of 1950 in Korea. On November 8, 1950, 1st Lt. Russell Brown, flying an F-80, shot down a MiG-15 in the first all-jet dogfight in history. It was apparent, however, that the MiG-15 was superior to any aircraft then in the US inventory.
