IIRC, during the war a North Korean pilot abandoned the Worker's Paradise (tm) for the hedonistic pleasures of capitalism. He took his MiG with him. He forcelanded and an American team went in to recover the aircraft, which now resides in the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
Which can be confirmed by a cross-check of the number visible on the nose of the MiG in the picture with the Sabre, and the MiG that is in the National Museum of the US Air Force.
