The Mig-17 is a significantly enhanced version of the MiG-15. Changes include an increase in wing sweep and other aerodynamic changes, as well as a more powerful engine in the MiG-17F, the first Soviet engine to use an afterburner. The MiG-17P was the first true all-weather, radar-equipped interceptor available to the Soviet Union. The "PF" version also incorporated the afterburning engine found in the "F" model. The Polish-built aircraft carried the designation Lim-5P. Beginning in 1971, all these aircraft were rebuilt as ground attack aircraft and re-designated Lim-6M or as camera equipped Lim-6MR reconnaissance aircraft. (Text: Pima Air and Space Museum)
