On January 14th, 1950, the prototype SI (I-330) aircraft, soon after named the MiG-17, took her maiden flight. Even then the aircraft showed better flight characteristics than its predecessor, the MiG-15bis jet fighter. The MiG-17 was in service with many armed forces and was used in intense combat becoming the principal for Chinese, Polish, and Czechoslovakian licensed copies.

Hopefully you will add a random skin drop for air vehicles on some of these future specials.
that would be great
The only way these rewards could be more embarrassingly pathetic is if gaijin sneaked in a line about "a sense of pride and accomplishment" in there.
These are non-events sadly, no replacement for the fun of capturing the Xmas tree on Finland and three presents on Stalingrad.
This is some real filler content, i mean what is the point grinding a specific jet to get a booster for 30 minutes which is equivalent to a tenth of premium bonuses?
Anyone actually ever got a booster for more than 3 battles? All I ever get from these is 10% SL booster for 3 games lmao
I'd play for a Skin but I'm not spending the time for booster I can get anyway.
that should be J-5, not J-4 gaijin : )
Nope, check in game; the MiG-17 is the J-4, the J-5/F-5 refers to the MiG-17F
ScottishKoala_YT, Actually, most of the sources indicates there is no such thing called J-4 in RL. But I guess it's just like the naming controversy of ZLT11.
Where are the winter festive event battles: capturing the Xmas tree on Finland and three presents on Stalingrad ?
