MiG-17 STARTS IT'S ENGINE FOR THE FIRST TIME!

Some of you may remember the MiG-17 (Shenyang JJ-5) that the CAF Mile High Wing and I helped disassemble a few months ago...well, it's almost back together and still needs some help to become airworthy again!
DM the MiG's new owner is hoping to take the MiG on a tour to several airshows across the country this year (including Colorado), where he will be selling rides in the MiG!!!

[@consentofthegoverned5145]

Most people don't realise that a jet fighter is just a giant engine with some control surfaces. Ok, so a seat and some hard points for ordinance too.

[@Michael-rg7mx]

And a whole bunch of fuel

[@AndreZA979]

This give you some great perspective of that. Very cool!

Constant thrust with variable noise

[@MGB1977Red]

The Klimov VK-1 jet engine puts out about 6,000lbs thrust, all of which is needed to take off at 5,280 feet on a hot summer day. Once airborne the Shenyang JJ-5 zips along quite nicely. Frank Whittle would be proud.

Is that an extension on the exhaust for ground runs/testing? It just seems so much longer than the proportions of the rear fuz, is there some odd Russian method that approves of engine runs on jacks?? I’ve not seen that on a high powered turbojet run.
