Though considered obsolescent by the 1960s, the MiG-17 was nonetheless a deadly fighter in the hands of an experienced pilot due to its small size and agility. The fighter was capable of 711 mph and weighed 11,733 pounds loaded, compared to 65,000 pounds for a modern fighter. (U.S. Air Force file photo)
