Mig-15

This aircraft was part of a multi aircraft relocation project. The aircraft was disassembled and transported from MCAS Miramar and reassembled in Irvine CA for the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum. Just a little history of this aircraft: Serial Number 81072. This Mig-15bis was originally Soviet built and was damage in combat during the Korean War. It was repaired in China and re-designated a J-1. It was acquired from the Chinese Aviation Museum near Beijing in 1988 and stored at Chino Airport until 1992 when it was sold to the Marine Corps Museum. This aircraft is currently on loan from the National Museum of the Marine Corps to the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum.
