Traverse City Air Show

This is the first in a series of seven posts of things I saw at the air show in Traverse City, Michigan.

According to the National Cherry Festival website, this is Mike Terfehr’s MiG 17F, CT-33 Silver Star. I photographed (and posted) it last summer, but it seems the paint scheme is a little different.

The designation "MiG" comes from two Russian aircraft designers, thus Mikoyan-Gurevich (source). This high-subsonic model was used by the North Vietnamese during the war with United States. The design from 1950, but this particular plane was built in 1960. Here's a link with some info on this plane. Two images by Richard Koenig; taken June 28th 2025.

Randy Ball and his beautiful Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-17F race some high performance sports cars down the runway at Fort Worth Alliance Airport. ⁣ ⁣ The Klimov VK-1 engine that powers the MiG-17 was also used on the MiG-15 and the Ilyushin Il-28 light bomber. It was the first Soviet jet engine to reach full production. ⁣ ⁣ In 1946 in a bid to try to improve relations with the Soviet Union, British prime minister Clement Atlee authorized Rolls Royce to export to the USSR 40 Nene centrifugal flow turbojet engines under the conditions they not be used for military applications. Stalin had the Nene reverse engineered by Vladimir Klimov’s engine design bureau and this was the Klimov RD-45. ⁣ ⁣ However, Klimov’s engineers had metallurgical problems with the RD-45 so a redesign was done that improved reliability and performance and this improved engine went into production as the Klimov VK-1.⁣ ⁣ The initial production versions of the MiG-17 didn’t have an afterburner- but because of the centrifugal configuration of the Klimov VK-1 jet engine, the only way to get more performance out of it was to add the first afterburner in a Russian fighter jet- creating the VK-1F engine, F for “forsahzhem” meaning with afterburning. ⁣ ⁣ MiG-17s with the upgraded Klimov engine were MiG-17Fs which is the variant that here. The first afterburners were limited and could only be lit at altitudes over 9800 feet. Over time it was refined into something more versatile. During certain maneuvers, the afterburner flame appears to pulse- it’s still on, but aerodynamic effects from the wings and empennage of the jet interact with the afterburner flame, make it appear like a pulse jet.⁣ ⁣ At slow to moderate speeds (300-350 knots), antiquated MiG-17 was a ferocious adversary that could easily pull a 7G turn on a dime to get its 37mm and twin 23mm cannons pointed at you. ⁣ ⠀⁣ #Avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KAFW #AFW #AllianceAirport #airport #planespotting ⁣ ⁣ #Mikoyan #MikoyanGurevich #MiG #MiG17 #Fresco #RandyBall #instaplane #instagramaviation #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #mil_aviation_originals #flight ⁣ ⁣ #AvGeeksAero #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation (at Fort Worth Alliance Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CET-A6Bh2uQ/?igshid=5xetx6wlqtwn

*Breaking* we just got the information that MiG-29 flights will resume later this year. Wow. Downside is that it comes with a massive price increase. Details to follow in May, this is all we know for now. #avgeekoftheweek #aviation #aviationlovers #aviationdaily #avgeeks #avgeeks #flight #military #fighterpilotforaday #migflug #mig29 #mikoyan #mikoyangurevich #mig29fulcrum (hier: Nizhni Novgorod, Russia) https://www.instagram.com/migflug/p/BwPpnXQliT6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19hnlf3vabpj7

Russian Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29M/M2, MiG-35 fighters to get automated intelligent g-limit controls | World News

Russian Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29M/M2 and MiG-35 fighter aircraft will be soon fitted with a new automated intelligent g-limit control system to help the pilots during extremely high g-limits during combat operations. According to the MiG Corporation, engineers involved in the development and production of MiG-29M/M2 and MiG-35 fighters have been granted a patent for the intelligent system which…

Among my first impressions of southern #india #mig has factories here and proudly advertises sustaining the local economy. Can fighter planes be considered a commodity like a car? #traveling #brofarer #advertisement #mikoyangurevich #airpower #coldwar #インド へ初旅。当初から残った印象の一つは、 #ロシア #戦闘機 メーカーの #ミグ は現地の経済に #貢献 している事で #自慢 しながら広報している。戦闘機は自動車と同様にコモディティに扱い出来ると思う？ #海外 #旅行 #航空 (at Kempegowda International Airport Lounge, Bengaluru) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvfa15BlEzR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f21v9afg77rp

Randy Ball and his MiG-17 tear it up at low level at Fort Worth Alliance Airport. ⠀ ⠀ Although the MiG-17 was long out of frontline service with the Soviet Union by the time of the Vietnam War, the agile little fighter proved to be a fearsome adversary to American pilots in the skies over Vietnam. ⠀ ⠀ With quick acceleration, a tight turning radius and a hard-hitting set of guns (two 23mm cannon and a 37mm cannon), many American fighter pilots who flew much more advanced jets thought the MiG-17 was a more fearsome opponent in a dogfight than the more capable and supersonic MiG-21. In fact, this obsolete fighter spurred on the development post-Vietnam of two American fighters of unparalleled dogfighting ability in their day- the F-15 Eagle and the F-16 Fighting Falcon. ⠀ ⠀ One of the design criteria for the F-16 was the ability to match or exceed the agility of the MiG-17 in a dogfight. At slow to moderate speeds (300-350 knots), the MiG-17 was a ferocious adversary that could easily pull a 7G turn on a dime to get its 37mm and twin 23mm cannons pointed at you. But as speeds increased, the increased airflow over the elevators increased control loads to the point that over 450 knots, it was impossible to overcome the control loads and the agile MiG became a missile bait lead sled. ⠀ ⠀ Hydraulically boosted controls would have solved this issue but the MiG-17 lacked them. The control stick was taller than most aircraft and this was to give the MiG driver more leverage at higher speeds. ⠀ ⠀ In the secret US flight tests of the MiG-17, pilots dogfighting the 17 were told to keep the speed up over 400 knots because if you slow down below 350 knots, the 17 *will* kill you. Flight trials showed it was possible for the old MiG-17 to prevail against the F-16 in a low speed dogfight.⠀ ⠀ #Avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #KAFW #AFW #AllianceAirport #FWAAS2019 #AllianceAirShow2019 #airport #planespotting #Mikoyan #MikoyanGurevich #MiG #MiG17 #Fresco #RandyBall #instaplane #instagramaviation #instaaviation #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #mil_aviation_originals #flight #AvGeeksAero #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation (at Fort Worth Alliance Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6cS6_eBcag/?igshid=12flvtxnm2gdu
