CFS EAF Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG 15 Fagot in Egyptian Air Force (EAF) livery. Egypt bought a handful of MiG-15bis and MiG-17 fighters in 1955 from Czechoslovakia with the sponsorship and support of the USSR, just in time to participate in the Suez Canal Crisis. During the air combat against the Israeli Air Force the Egyptian MiG-15 bis's managed to shoot down at least three Israeli aircraft in spite of suffering several losses. FS98 aircraft design by Chris Lampard. Egyptian textures and DP by Edmundo Abad. Also special thanks to Juan Concha and Roberto Ibarra, former FACH officers, by the great provided information for the development of this virtual model.
