Looking for the 1st MiG15 & 25
Hello all!
I caught parts of a documentary on discovery about MiGs not too long ago. Flight tests were mentioned when the USAF "received" the first MiG-15 and the MiG-25. Does anyone know where these aircraft are today, and if they are on display?

Click on this link for what you may find surprising:
Soviet aircraft in Western Hands
First Mig 15 was from a North Korean defection. $100,000 reward was apparently not the reason. This list suggests that it ditched and was recovered by the Royal Navy, but another webpage shows it ready for flight in USAF makings.
