Nice pics, that must have been somthing to see! Just curious, do you know who was flying the Rata?

Sat Aug 09, 2008 8:18 pm

Not sure I can find out. John Penny (spelling?) was in the Hurricane my kids and I met him after the show nice guy.

Mr Carter Teeters was flying the I-16 Rata. Rad

Thanks FUNFLYER, just curious as to who was rated to fly the I-16 here in the States. I haven't heard of any othes being regularly flown here, so I thought maybe one of the Alpine Fighter Collection pilots might have made the journey to fly it. Nice to see that someone here in the States is qualified the I-16, maybe Carter can help the CAF exercise their Rata a little more often :D

Great pictures. Both planes look great.

I like the look of the older camera. 8)

Pretty sure Dave Morss is checked out in the Rata as well.

Carter is a great pilot and instructor. That is him in the back seat in my avatar pic.

He is, as well as several other pilots in the U.S.

How about a basic clue as to location?

Rata and Hurri

Really cool pics.I also like the slight grainy look as well. Y'all dont suppose there is any influence from the Granville Brothers on the rata do you? The Hurri is beautiful and imo better looking than that spindly legged other plane from the BOB.
