My father inlaw saw a MIG-17 over his house messin around today, anyone know who it belongs to? We are out here around Marengo IL.( Il post some pics later)

Could it be Dave Burdine? I don't remember where he's based out of though.

Dave Burdine bases his Mig 17 out of Kenosha WI--the extreme southeast corner of the state so it's very possible he may have been flying the beast over Illinois.

Sorry for the low image quality, but this is all we have.
