The plane in this color scheme is located in Tucson – Davis-Monthan – Pima Air & Space Museum
russianplanes.net/id177349I don't know what source was used to paint the museum plane.
But in the Russian segment of the Internet there is a drawing of another plane from the eight-hundredth series, which took part in the Korean War.

Which *might* translate to… "MiG-15 – one of the ‘veteran' aircraft of the 196th Fighter Aviation Regiment. On this machine, on December 1, 1951, Lieutenant Colonel E.G. Pepelyaev shot down an F-80C No. 49-855 from the 35th Air Attack Group of the 8th Fighter-Bomber Air Group.
Pilot Thomas Mounts (Thomas T. Mounts) was taken prisoner." |
