I attended that show with a progressive FM disc jockey friend, and we had 4th row center seats at Norfolk's Scope Arena complements of the radio station. We were literally 15 or 20 feet from the stage. The lights started dimming about 20 minutes before the concert and there was a large half mirror ball attached to a scaffold behind and above the stage with nozzles surrounding it that started pumping smoke well before the band took the stage. Dry ice fog engulfed the stage and rolled over the proscenium and began to flow into the crowd and down the isles. When the band finally came out, we found ourselves sitting shoulder deep in dry ice fog in a sea of heads. It was totally surreal.

Greetings again Canteeners, time for the Saturday Sortie. The other half of this weekends airplane duo is the Polikarpov I-16. The I-16 is the logical follow on to the I-15 biplane we looked at last night. The I-16 was in fact the first cantilevered monoplane fighter with retractable gear.
The I-16 used extensively by the Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War where it dominated the bi-planes of the Nationalist forces. The Republicans forces called the I-16 Mosca or fly, while the Nationalsit refered to it as the Ratta or Rat. the I-16 pett much ruled the skies over Spain until the introduction of the Bf109.
The Polikarpov !-16 accounted for almost two-thirds of the Red Air Force inventory of fighter at the time of the Nazi Invasion. While inferior to the German Messerschmits and Focke-Wulf fighters in overall performance, in the hands of a skilled pilot the Mosca could be a formidable advisary.
As with last nights planes these flying I-16s are thew results of New Zealand's Sir Tim Wallis efforts in the 1990s. So on with the pics.
Of course the head on pic.
A stunnig shot of the I-16's planform in this picture.
A low pass shows off the stubby lines of the Mosca
This I-16 is owned by the Federación Infante de Orleans' IIRC. Translation anyone?
A Ratta taking off with a Seagull in trail.
And we close out tonite's Sortie with this pic of an I-16 being serviced priot to flight. Would not take to much imagination to see this as an airfield in 1941, eh?
Well that's it folks. I am off for 12 hours of frivolity and fun. Hope everynbody has a great week out there and we will see you next weekend.
Regards

it has never been certified Platinum because the RIAA didn't institute Platinum status until the 80s and refuses to award it retro-actively. Meanwhile, that album was still in the Top 200 Albums chart in the mid-80s. You can't name another album that you can say that about.
I've read articles concerning "The Wizard of Oz" and "Dark Side of the Moon". One of these days I'll have to try it.

Yeah, I was listening to it every week for about six months before I had any clue of what the translation was. Actually, it's just as well that I didn't know because it might've spoiled a little of one of the plotlines.
If I could find a copy of it, I might actually pay to download it and put it on my Shuffle. (Right now, I only have the stuff I already own on CD -- although my wife bought a doo-hickey thingy that'll make mp3s out of cassette tapes.)
