800 mm · f/9.0 · 1/640 · ISO 12800

Developed in the 1950s by the Soviet Union, the MiG-17F Fresco was a major step forward in Mikoyan-Gurevich design. The MiG-17F Fresco saw action in several major conflicts during the Cold War, including the Vietnam War and in Korean War aviation history. It was a key player in the air battles that defined much of the Cold War era.

Pretty remarkable capture considering the lighting.

Thank you Gregg. Yes, lighting is not always ideal in the early evening. Panning and high frame rate helps to increase the possibility of a keeper. :)
