Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 and Canadair CT-133 Silver Star fly together at Duxford Air Show.
The MiG-15UTI flying is a trainer version built in Poland in 1952. It is painted as 'Red 18' to represent the aircraft flown by Soviet pilot and cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. Before training to become the first man in space in 1961, Gagarin was a MiG-15 fighter pilot, stationed close to the Norwegian border.
The Lockheed Shooting Star was America's first operational jet fighter. With a lengthened nose and provision for two seats, it was redesignated as the T-33 and saw action in Korea, Laos and Cuba as a reconnaissance aircraft and also widely used as a trainer by many NATO countries during the Cold War.
Both these aircraft are owned by the Norwegian Air Force Historical Squadron.
