Had to share this..
 

From inside the cockpit of one of the worlds only flying MiG 3

I wish I spoke Russian so I could understand the pilot
(edited, never mind I didn't notice the closed captioning).

I-16 had a terrible reputation until 3 top Russian pilots went around teaching the do's and don't's in a national tour. A well trained I-16 pilot could do amazing things with the plane but it is like watching Olympic athletes make feats look easy that less trained athletes wipe out trying.

Wings of Russia series shows I'16 pilots do stunts but that doesn't make them easy. I'd like to see this guy compare MiG-3 to Yak-1 for instance.
