I think the 2 seater is a MiG-15. There are 3 wing fences on the MiG-17 and 2 on the MiG-15. Plus as the MiG-17s were put into service, some of the original MiG-15s were modified to become trainers. What is odd is that almost every time I have seen a MiG-17 at an airshow, their is always a MiG-15 on static display nearby. Evil twin?
Wherever their bones may lie, the courage of heroes is consecrated in the hearts and engraved in the history of the free. Lt Col Honner DSO MC, 39th Commander speaking of the dead from the battle of Kokoda.
No surprise for me as I lived about 20 miles south of there for 4 years. 281 is on the route of the old El Camino Real. The Spanish used that route in the 17th and 18th century. As has been said, it is a much more relaxed way to drive from Dallas to San Antonio. They have a nice air show at that airport every spring just about now when the bluebonnets are at their peak. There is a muny golf course just south of the airport called Deleware Springs. In expensive and a good course. While playing there I have seen many interesting AC in the pattern.
