: Didn't know MiG-15's had an afterburner. That is what it
: is, right?

Chris--

The MiG-15 was powered with a developed RR Nene "clone"; I think the afterburner only arrived with the later MiG-17. The extreme aft end of the fuselage (basically a tailpipe) may have been stainless steel on the '15, though, making it resemble a burner can...I don't remember for sure. Anyone--did the '15 also feature an afterburner?
