mig-15-uti

Our airworthy MIG 15 was originally produced for training flights in Aero Vodochody under the licence code CS-102. This legendary two-seated jet aircraft is equipped with the engine VK-1. Even today MIG-15 can surprise experts by its astonishing  features of flying. The aircraft is endowed with the Czech camouflage known under the name of 30th SBOLP, so-called  “ostravsky” with a characteristic sign on the forepart. It is based at the airport in Hradec Králové, where this particular MIG had flown until 1983 with the registration number 2514.

History of our aircraft:

MIG 15UTI with serial number 242266 was produced in Aero Vodochody under the licence code CS-102 in 1955. The aircraft was equipped with the RD-45 enging. The first test flight occurred at the same place on 22/4/1955 by two professional pilots Vlastimil David and Antonin Bartos. On 17/6/1955, shortly after the test flight, the aircraft was exported to Poland. It served the Polish air force at 61 LPSzB based in Biaia Podlaska as a training aircraft (under the licence code SB Lim 2 with registration 2266) until 22/11/1990. During its service many excellent pilots had a chance to sit in the cockpit of this legend including the first Polish astronaut MirosIaw Hermaszewski. Later on, the new type of engine called VK-1 replaced the old one. It was modernized in order to be high-performance. After completing military service, the aircraft was stored and eventually conserved.

In 1994, an American businessman, Tom Smith, bought this MIG 15 and arranged transport to California. The aircraft was registered under the licence N-41125 two years later. It has been newly based at the airport in Paso Robles CA ever since, so as to be presented to visitors of Estrella Warbird Museum of Paso Robles and at various air shows across the USA.

In 2013, the aircraft was purchased and brought by the company Czech Flying Legends to the Czech Republic. Many of us may see this positive transfer as a return of the legend back to the „Czech sky“. The MIG 15 has got a particular camouflage in Czech colours and carries the number 2514 on its body. Back then the same number was owned by MIG 15UTI from 30th SBOLP (Fighter bomber unit) operating in Hradec Králové until 1982. The former carries a characteristic sign of the city of Ostrava on its forepart, exactly as the original MIG did. There is only one difference between the two MIGs. Our MIG has „tiger“ colours on the upperpart of the tail to express the cooperation with NATO Tiger Association.

The high-performance laminar sailplane Standard 15 first flew in August 1956. After several modifications it was put into a serial production as VT 16 Orlík. The glider was originally designed by Ing. Jiří Matějíček for the gliding centre in Medlánky where they produced two prototypes and the serial production was handed over to the Orličan company in Choceň.. The Orlík fully replaced the ageing Šohaj glider and in relatively short time it became a standard single seat glider serving Czech gliding clubs.

The aircraft was established in 1963 as a replacement for the older VT-16th He got a completely new fuselage with a smaller front face and the chevron vertical tail. With less angle of the wing to the fuselage with improved performance at higher speeds. The introduction of the VT 116 resulted in a greatly improved sport performance in competitions. VT 116 Orlík II is a single seat laminar high-wing monoplane of all-wood construction. Trapezoidal wing is between the ribs filled with polystyrene foam, covered with ply and equipped with flaps.
