I am disqualified as I immediately went and looked at the Museums exhibits after you posted the board. Never heard of that museum - Some really awesome exhibits, hope you had an amazing visit!

Its a nice air museum for sure. Interestingly they have a few artifacts from the Goodyear company (being in rubber country) which are pretty cool

They also encourage the grown up kids to take a seat in the Huey Cobra - amazing how small it actually is

Well worth a quick stop over if you're ever in the Akron area of Ohio

Thanks for that info, it seems like the only real external difference between the MiG-15 and MiG-17. I never realized that the two aircraft were so close in design!

If you don't gear up your brain before takeoff, you'll probably gear up your airplane on landing.

Wazzit with a difference .. the name / registration and even c/n is known.
What is not known is who the manufacturer was.
14 of these microlights were registered on the SA Register during the early 80's so its not a one off
The remains of Grasshopper Microlight ZS-UWF c/n 37 at Krugersdorp Airfield FAKR
