You Are There! Let's fly the Soviet biplane, the Polikarpov Po-2. Come along with me from the pre-flight warm up in part 1, to some fly-by's over Fantasy of Flight in part 2. It should be a fun ride - Kermit Weeks | Kermit Weeks

Welcome to Warbird Wednesday! Today, we’re visiting the world’s first low-wing monoplane fighter with retractable landing gear that entered operational service, the Polikarpov I-16. This Soviet aircraft was a revolutionary design that saw combat in the Spanish Civil War, in China, and WWII.

Here's a video from my library... We're happy to say the Polikarpov I-16 Fighter has finally arrived at Fantasy of Flight. Watch here as the FoF crew accepts her into their care, and makes her comfortable in her new home. She'll be gently pampered as we work towards bringing her back to flying glory! Stay tuned. | Kermit Weeks
