Chip, the jet with nose number 547 is an mig- 17 from the Indonesian Air Force but painted to look like a North Korean jet. I did a Google search because it looked very similar to the North Korean jets in your video from Mark Felton Productions.

March Air Force Base Aviation Museum has a few of them on display from the Polish Air Force but I don't think these are in flying condition or are they needing a little tender loving care?

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel back in 2004, I posed next to a mig-17 that did fly in under its own power. I post next to it but I don't have it here on my smartphone but I do have it on digits somewhere. That is a very nice picture! The make 15 and 17 are excellent for air combat but the mig-21s and others are too fast and they use too much fuel!

Wow, I found my daughter walking around and MIG- 15 at Nellis Air Force Base back in 2009.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I couldn't find it but I did find another picture of my daughter and me hanging around Russian Sukhoi SU-9 with Iraqi Arab markings on it. It must have been a war prize from Desert Storm.
