Hello, a recent pickup and I like it very much. These are the four flight books for a Bulgarian Mig 17 A, #124, made 18/9/53. The first marked Bulgarian flight is 12/10/62 and the last 12/11/89. They contain hundreds of flights. Are log books like these very collectable? Best, Bill Bourque

Bill - Very interesting thread and collection you have acquired. It would be interesting to know if the MIG still survives or even find a photo of the aircraft.
As for being collectable, that would depend I think on the collecting community. I think folks who deal with aircraft artifacts would find your books of interest.Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did. Quote - Sophie Scholl - White Rose resistance groupComment

Being a military aviator and aviation enthusiast I think the logbooks are very interesting. It generally depends on the interest of the collector.Comment

Hello, well I bought the whole damm Mig, every part down to the rivets. I have built all the models , gone to all the airshows and visitied all the museums and done RC flights. When I sat down to put together a Mig model not too long ago after a few beers I said " Ive had it with models" and I went out and bought the ex Bulgarian Mig 17, #124. It will be delivered to me in January and I plan on doing what I can to get it to static display status in the next few years of my retirement. A few years ago I was stunned to find out the aircraft I find the most appealing and desirable was the cheapest out there after the fall of the Iron Curtain. At $8k price and $4k to ship I hypnotically hit the buy button. After selling off some German items that have gone way up in value over the years and making 100% profit I was set. Here are some pics. Best, BillComment

Bill - OMG!!! You have my interest peaked even more from the standpoint to know that you bought the entire aircraft and now get it brought to your location. I would be very interested if you would update this thread from time to time with the status of your new project. CONGRATS!!!Somebody, after all, had to make a start.
