David Tallichet - MiG-17 Imports

[Rob Mears]

Does anyone have a listing of serial numbers for the MiG-17's (Lim-5's and 6's) that Tallichet imported into the United States back in the mid-1990's? I understand that there were 25 airframes in all. Thanks!

One of them went to MAPS, but I don't know the serial.

Back in 99 or 2000 I was south of Dallas, near Gun Barrel City, TX.
It was on a lake.

Well at a marina/boat shop there were quite a few jets in crates and a couple assembled.

I'm not a jet person, but thinking back they looked like Mig 17's.

Anyone know, or is anyone ever down that way?

By serials do you mean US N Number or Polish(?) AF Serials?

[Rob Mears]

Polish numbers such as '1F0325'. That particular number belongs to a Lim-6 that was part of the group of twenty-five Polish MiG's he imported to the US. Now if I could just identify the other twenty-four.

I'll take N-numbers as well if that's all that is available, although I don't believe Tallichet would have registered the planes with the FAA though. I could be wrong!

I stand to be corrected but one may be N2400X was seen by myself at the Valliant Air Command at KTIX, but this has a number of 1A-06027 so it is a Lim-2 and i dont know if this is a MiG-17 or not
See: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1036170/L/

But if it isnt I'm stuck because I can't find any reference to any others

Some more searching show that 1F0319 was exported at around the same time as 1F0325 so this may be another?

This is now registered N2305N
