Preserved with this fake registration at this super museum, which covers all aspects of agriculture. As I understand it, the original SP-DFA (cn 1S008-05) crashed not long after it was built. This registration for this plane (1S006-02) is not known.

WSK-Pezetel-Mielec 15, powered by one jet engine.

Moved from the MÉM Rsz facility when it closed via a spell at Budaors and Csepel to Szolnock Szandaszöllős airfield where it was displayed for several years. Now displayed outside the Mielec factory in Poland.

The original SP-DFA (c/n 1S008-05) crashed in the late 1970's

Sporting "325"on the fuselage, which was its number during the 1977 Paris Air Show. The aircraft used Eelde as a stop on the way home. It was accompanied by An-2TD SP-DNO (c/n 1G119-70), An-2TD SP-DNP (c/n 1G148-60), TS-11 SP-DOF (c/n 3H-1625), Socata Rallye 110ST SP-WGB (c/n 2854, which together with SP-WGC served as 'example' for the license-built PZL.110 Koliber) and M-18 Dromader SP-PBZ (c/n 1ZP01-03).

The incredible ag-jet with its huge insecticide-containing struts.

Without a doubt one of the most...unique...aircraft I've ever seen is this jet-powered cropduster, also known as the Belphegor. Serial produced from 1976, but it didn't live up to expectations and only 175 out of an order for 3000 were built. Only used and in the USSR and arguably the world's only jet-powered agricultural aircraft, jet-powered biplane and the worlds slowest jet (counting serial-produced aircraft). The large 'pylons between both wings are the tanks in which the chemicals were housed. The airframe was damaged during transport and only repaired with the remains of Belphegor 1S006-01.

Over many years I have seen some strange aircraft, but few stranger than this one. This was designed as a jet-engined biplane and it was used for crop spraying. It is on outside display at the wonderful Polish Aviation Museum.

The M-15 was an agricultural aircraft intended to be used on the huge Soviet collective farms. In the end performance was disappointing and only 175 were built. In terms of mass produced jets it is, however, the only cropduster, the only biplane and the world's slowest jet. On display at the Central Museum of the Air Force at Monino.

The M-15 was intended to replace the An-2 but the use of a jet engine for an agricultural aircraft was a bit ambitious. It does, at least, have the claim to fame of being the slowest, mass-produced jet aircraft. This example is on display at the Polish Aviation Museum.
