Thank you Gunny, strange for sure and crazy cool. Neither of the air bases shown are anywhere near Bialystok. I should have posted this a couple of years ago as I searched nearly all Polish Air Force info on the net. Maybe the pilot was once a player. Best, Bill

Hi Yes, I'm proud to say I own it. After 50 years of collecting I was able to sell a large portion of my collection at a respectable profit and purchase this aircraft. I knew it wasnt possible to own a WW2 German aircraft as the prices start in the millions. The Mig 17F aircraft as the story goes was modeled after the FW Ta183 Luftwaffe jet fighter, "the Raven that annoys", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Ta_183 . It is operational but not flyable at this time. I start it up once a year but it burns 6-7 gallons a minute at idle, kind of expensive for 15". Best, Bill Bourque
