PS. As memo serves the name "Rata" was given to the Polikarpov I-16 by the Spanish fascists. The one in the pics above is the Polikarpov I-153 and never flew with any Spanish AF squadrons during or after the Spanish Civil War. The correct soviet name for the kite was "Чайка" (Chaika).

That's nothing. You could seat at the starboard in the passenger compartment where the exhaust fumes go along the wall. The vibrations there make your spine and brian willing to bail out. And the hot makes you filling like being BBQ. :lol:
