MiG-15bis 2057, National Museum of the US Air Force

The MiG with the red 2057 on its nose is the jet North Korean pilot No Kum-sok flew to Kimpo Air Base in South Korea on 21 September 1953, handing the West its first intact MiG-15 after the Korean War armistice. It was flight-tested at Wright-Patterson and has belonged to the Dayton museum since 1957. Here it sits in the Korean War gallery beside an F-86 Sabre, its old adversary over MiG Alley, and the exhibit also shows the $100,000 check paid to No for delivering it.
