White 45 on display at Fantasy of Flight museum. This I-16 Type 24 originally fitted with a 1,000 hp M-62R engine was one of six rebuilt in Russia in 1997 for the Alpine Fighter Collection from remains discovered in the Leningrad region. It was sold to CAF in 2001 and to Kermit Weeks in 2019. First flown on 31 Dec 1933, the I-16 was then on par with other fighter aircraft. Later outclassed, the 'Ishak' bore the brunt of the Luftwaffe's attack during the opening days of Op Barbarossa. A few I-16s from 123rd and 124th Fighter Aviation Regiment deliberately rammed Luftwaffe fighters in combat.

Star exhibit at the PAC is without doubt this Po I-153 in flyable condition!
