MiG-15 flew for the first time (http://video.idnes.cz/?idvideo=V141208_141700_tv-zpravy_krr)

Group of aviation enthusiasts restored Mig-15 fighter. Listen to the sound and watch the first flight. Some veterans talk about their experience from the past. Mr. Milota (82 years old) who has 1200 hours on the type under his belt said he would be able to fly the fighter even today.

The a/c was Czech made under license was part of Polish AF. First Mig-15s were imported to Czechoslovakia in 1951 and were in active duty till 1982.

Per the article there are only 2 Mig-15s in flyable condition (this one and one in Poland) however I saw a video of a Hungarian Mig-15 too.
