File Description:
Albania Air Force MiG-15bis(Shenyang F-2)5-32. The F-2 was a variant modified by the Shenyang facilities in China of the model MiG-15bis. The planes were powered with a Chinese version of the VK-1A, the WP-5A and the addition of an access panel on the port side of the nose. This version was exported also to Bangladesh, North Korea, Pakistan, Sudan, Tanzania and North Vietnam. The first delivery batch of 24 MiG-15bis for Albania was delivered from the USSR on the 31th of January, 1955. The planes were relatively older and according to ground crews, some had clear evidence of battle damage indicating service in the Korean War. The first flight of the plane in Albania took place on April 7th, a public display flight over the capital on 1th May. In the early '60s the F-2's were added to the inventary of the Albanian Air Force. In the early 90's the planes were still in service together with the original Russian MiG-15bis with the 2th Squadron at the Valona Air Academy.
