Polikarpov I-16 Rata
In service the Rata or Mosca (Fly) could be a formidable opponent, as some German airmen found to their cost - if they could not bring enemy bombers down by conventional means, some Russian pilots would attempt to ram their adversaries which invariably resulted in the loss of both aircraft involved. Dan, I trust this is not the tactic used in friendly 'Combat' flying. Great flying!
Here's an alternative landing technique for the Polikarpov I-16 ! Cooler than a cornfield!
