Mikoyan–Gurevich MiG-15UTI


In the very next parking spot was another MiG-15 — this one a MiG-15UTI. Note that it is a two-seater and thus was used as a trainer. You may have noticed the little pimple on the nose of MiG-15s — here is a closer shot. If you think about it, it does make sense that the pilot would have better success using a camera to line up for a shot. I had to chuckle that the label on this Soviet aircraft owned previously by the North Koreans is in English.
