I was there at that show. Watching these will live with me always. You don’t just hear them, you feel them, and when flying together, it’s surreal. Thanks for posting.
Спасибо от имени русского народа за заботу о советской авиации, о самом красивом самолёте первой половины 20 века -- И-16. Последние серии которого были или наравне или превосходили первые серии МЕ-109.

+AirflowNZ *Thanks for this demonstration of a tricky propfighter.* Central Engineering Bureau Type 12 as designed by Nikolai Nikolaevich Polikarpov was practically a Granville Brothers racer scaled up for the Bristol Jupiter (as adapted for Russian tooling by Arkadij Dmitrievich Shvetsov) packing retracting mainmounts - a revolution in the early 1930's - and two 7.62x54R _Shpitalnogo-Komaret'skogo Aviatsionnij Skorostrel'nij_ synchroguns. The I-16 had to be flown with authority due to its marginal longitudinal stability.
There is/was a replica 'GeeBee' racer which had the same barrel-like appearance as this fighter: it could stay in flight while on its side, using fuselage lift. Polikarpov managed to earn a death sentence in the late '30s but survived until 1944.
@@None-zc5vg About Polikarpov's death sentence, this is the nonsense of a liberal. Nikolai Polikarpov was never arrested, even after the death of the famous test pilot Chkalov on his I-180 plane. Chkalov, Baidukov, Belyakov were the first to fly through the north pole of the Earth to the United States on an ANT-25 plane without landing.
This are fantastic shots of outstanding airplanes. Are they replicas "new built" or are they have been restored? Thanks for sharing!!! Best regards, RCSA
Practically new built, but done so in Novosibirsk by the exact same methods as the originals, in the same factories and by some of the people who assembled the originals.
GT, Pilots had to manually wind up landing gear with just one hand for the stick whilst on take off! Also had to land without any flaps. Great skills required! Cheers, Mike
Hi, I remember saw one of those around Wanaka at 2007 in a hanger. But not sure exact where. Seems not in museum recently. Do you know this guys still hang around Wanka somewhere ?

Hi Sergio - that sounds like a great idea. How about uploading your Video when you have finished. Hope you have seen all my Polikarpov Videos. regards, Mike AirflowNZ
Who,s radial engine license is used or is it home grown which would be odd since even Britain's aircraft engines were developed from French makers in we 1
Great video! Were are all of them at now? Kermit Weeks, of Fantasy of Flight based in Florida, USA, just recently purchased an I-16 from the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) out of Texas, USA! He intends to fly it soon, as it only needs recovered and an engine swap.
@@AirflowNZ Thank you for responding! Mr. Kermit Weeks bought an I-16, afore mentioned, with a call number of '45' on the fuselage. I am curious as to whether or not it is the same one, as the one flying in this video? Blue Skies!
Snoopy, would have to be the same. Listed for sale in September 2018 for $375k and indicated sold for $270k recently. Only 50 hours and advert advises engine needed some attention!, Mike
@@AirflowNZ Thanks for the information. More than likely, it is the one Mr. Weeks purchased. Someone had pulled the engine off, according to Mr. Weeks video, to hang it on another A/C because of its low hours. Thanks again and have a great day!
Andrea, this aircraft does not have flaps to slow decent, also vision of approaching ground is very restricted making then very difficult to do a smooth landing, cheers, Mike

I was at this air show and truly love these twitchy wee fighters and there unique sound pity they were all sold off as they really were awesome to see flying...
bossco09 - amazing how time also flys! I do not think they get much airtime these days and we will never see five up at the same time again.regards, Mike -AirflowNZ

Je to úžasný pocit létat tyto historické repliky...
it's awesome, my grandpa flew this plane in spanish civil war so this plane is special to me, thank you!

Many thank's Mike for your reply. I'll have an eye on it when the I-16 squadron will be in Europe.
Best regards, Horst (RCSA)

95th Foot, Its comments like yours that keep me wanting to produce Aircraft Videos. Thank You! Mike - AirlfowNZ
This is the most Badass looking aircraft ever build. What a show !
Rugid, rowdy but reliable! Look, no flaps to keep pilot busy on landing!

It's Russian best Harley in the Air. BRAZZL!

Watch the Polikarpov I-16 Restoration video in UA-cam
Practically new built, but done so in Novosibirsk by the exact same methods as the originals, in the same factories and by some of the people who assembled the originals.
I like the spanish name ‘Mosque ‘ for this plane A massive history there fascinating little fly lol
Edward, thanks for your comment, Mike - AirflowNZ
SUPER !!! SUPER !!! Et le son du moteur génial !!!
Daniel, Thank you! Mike AirflowNZ
So cool
To see these flying.
Look like the landing speed is pretty fast.
It must have taken a lot of skill to fly this little bird.

Sini, they are all overseas owned now. One was scheduled to appear at the last WBOWanaka bur Covid canned Air Show. Mike
Beutiful war plane from URSS!
I want to make a big RC scale for it soon...with a radial engine...these engines sound like a haven ;)

I've watched this video many times. Love the I-16. If the Granville Bros. designed fighters theirs would have been an I-16 clone.
Kevin a serious thought! Mike - AirflowNZ

零戦のやられ役みたいなイメージが強いけど、なんか古くてアンパンマンみたいな顔のこの飛行機、好きなんだよな
Looks cheeky also! Mike
These things are really fast planes the only Polikarpov I've seen before is the I 15 at Flying Legends Duxford
Hamish, yes they can really get up some speed, very impressive for their time. Mike
Who,s radial engine license is used or is it home grown which would be odd since even Britain's aircraft engines were developed from French makers in we 1
Google advises that it was based on a Wright R 18-20 and variations of this engine were licensed built. I will leave the rest to you! cheers, Mike
Yes!, you have an excellent videos in your chanel...I´m in love with alls ww2 planes, and you have many videos of it.
Regards Mike!
Very cool, thanks for NZ!)

Hi Koudreaper - Glad you like the Video. I have four other Videos of the Polikarpov I-16 on My Channel, enjoy1 regards, Mike AirflowNZ
I think it's the cutest fighter in the history of the world.
Cheeky and nice! Mike
Lovely

А шасси , так же в ручную убирают?
I think it is self supporting structure covered in both metal sheet and canvas, very strong, Mike
the sound they make is like a harly davidson motor on steroids.
Это охуенно! Thanks!
Thank you. Sorry for my delay, Mike
85 años despues siguen demostrando lo buenos que son
Diego, they sure do! Mike
👋 what a nice place Wanaka )
Yes, a great tourist Mecca. Mike
Awesome 🤩
John, yes a very lively aircraft, no flaps though!

+Руслан Крыльев - Thank you! Mike, AirflowNZ
Amazing!!!
GMI, yes a great little Aircraft! Thanks, Mike
That part of New Zealand looks so much like Central/Northern California.
Ramond, thanks for your observation, Mike - AirflowNZ
Einfach genial
Ula’n thank you, Mike
Resect to the little 'un😍😍😍
Paul, great little fighter! Mike
Вопрос. Почему где-то за рубежом легенду сохранили, а у идиотов, кроме фоток не осталось ни хрена ?? Это неверное традиция... национальное
Gennady, all these aircraft are now in museums around the world. Thank you for your comment, Mike

Да, это национальное. "Патриотов", как выяснилось, и без этого хватает.

Вот чем отличается менталитет "совка" от "буржуина". Буржуй бережнее относится к истории и имеет больше возможностей к этому.
