Now wedged into an awkward spot for photos next to the B-47, the NMUSAF MiG-19 has been on show in North Vietnamese AF colours since 1994. It was obtained from the 457th Technical Evaluation Squadron which specialised in testing Soviet combat aircraft at Nellis AFB and had originally been operated by the Indonesian AF as TB-0932

The MiG-19 was the first Soviet production fighter capable of supersonic speed in level flight. The S-version was equipped with a long range 'Svod' navigation receiver, 30 mm canon and hardpoints uder the wings for bombs or rockets. This example was obtained from the 457th Technical Evaluation Squadron bases at Nellis AFB, NV and went on display at the National Museum of the USAF in Oct. 94.
