One of my cousins has a Mig-17 and does show with it. MiG-17 - FIGHTERJETS INC. - Randy Ball
He tells the story about when he found someone selling the cannons that came on the plane. While he was driving back with them, he got pulled over by a state trooper. He said it was pretty tense for a while. They are inoperable, and I think the trooper had someone come out to inspect them before he released him.
He did a flyover then went ballistic for a party my grandfather was having at his ranch. Pretty awesome.
Just a few years ago, he was flying to an air show and had a heart attack. Thankfully, he was able to land the plane and get in the ambulance. I think he went under a knife that day. He says the fact that he was in the plane saved him since he was on oxygen.
