Mig 17F - a photo on Flickriver

Mig 17F

            The MiG-17 was the primary interceptor of the fledgling Vietnam Peoples Air Force in 1965, responsible for their first aerial victories and seeing extensive service during the Vietnam War. Some North Vietnamese pilots preferred the MiG-17 over the MiG-21 because it was more agile, though not as fast; three of the 16 VPAF Aces of the war (credited with shooting down five or more opposing aircraft) were from MiG-17s. Those were: Nguyen Van Bay (seven victories), Luu Huy Chao and Le Hai (both with six). The rest gained ace status in MiG-21s. (Thank you Wikipedia)

Shot on expired (2009) Agfa 160 XPS at ISO 64.  Shot with Pentax 67 and Pentax 67 35mm Fisheye lens.  Film was slit to 61mm from 70mm.  First try at slitting this film and I way overstressed it in the process, thus the color funs, quasi fogging, etc....  

Developed in homespun Fuji N1 developer for 3:15 minutes at 100 degrees F, Potassium ferricyanide bleach for 6 minutes and RF-4 rapid fix fixer for 4 minutes.  Fixer is homemade ammonium thiosulfate fixer:

Ammonium chloride 80g
Sodium sulfite 10g
Sodium metabisulfite 3g
