  • When a retired GM engineer undertook the restoration of a scrapped Polish fighter jet, he got more than he bargained for...and fewer parts. Watch this inspiring story of Jon Blanchette overcoming the odds in the face of adversity, a true story of restoration at its best.
    Captain Randy Ball might fly your passenger jet during the week but on weekends he flies upside down in Cold War-era fighters.

    Excellent video, something beautiful about these old Soviet Russian MIGs, 15, 17, 19, 29, all she is missing is the armaments and the iconic red star.
    Outstanding work Jon! And well done to all the team.

      Glad you're enjoying it! Red 620 is restored in Polish markings because it was built in Poland, and went into service with the Polish AF markings. That's why it lacks the red star. Jon restored 620 to look as it did originally, including the unpainted exterior. Red 620 actually carries 23mm cannon, demilled of course, but original and authentic. You'll get to see the cannon in a future episode of Airshow Team, so please subscribe to the channel and hit that bell button to receive notifications of new episodes. Thanks for watching!
