This aircraft served the LSK/LV from 1957 with JG 1 "Fritz Schmenkel" at Cottbus, with JG 8 at Marxwalde in 1963 and JBG 37 "Klement Gottwald" at Drewitz from 1972. Around 180 MiG-17Fs served the LSK till 1985. An SRD-1M radar rangefinder slaved to the target tracking radar and ASP-4N automatic optical gunsight is visible on the nose, as is a strut supported 57 mm MARS-2 rocket pod for S-5 rockets. The radio antenna mast by the starboard rear canopy frame and ESKR-46 flare dispenser on the front starboard fin are no longer fitted.
