This guy seems to have a handle on it. The dual snap rolls at the top of a loop at about 4:30 were quite impressive!

Yes, I recall those magazine pieces where there were, what, 5 or 6 I-16/I-15/I-153s flying in formation in NZ? So I guess that's half a dozen pilots down there willing to fly one.
Like DaveM2 mentioned, at Wanaka '98 there were five I-16s and three I-153s. From memory four of the pilots involved have since died but I believe the majority of the other four still fly warbirds...Dave may be able to correct me.
