The Antonov An-2 Colt (Russian nickname: kukuruznik - a kolkhoz maize
worker also nicknamed Annushka; in Lithuania – Anton; in Germany -
Anna) is the largest single-engine biplane ever produced in the World,
which first flew in 31 August 1947 and was the first plane designed by
O. Antonov. It is used as a light transport, capable of carrying 12
passengers, and for parachute drops and agricultural work. Its
extraordinary slow-flight and STOL capabilities make it supremely
suited for short, unimproved fields. The Guinness Book of World
Records states that the 45-year production run for the An-2 was the
longest ever, for any aircraft.

It´s so impressive, so strong the feeling that image brings.
Pilot MKN (45 months ago | reply)
makes me want to hop in and go for a flight in a good old radial plane

Great capture. That An-2 must be in a very good condition.
limajulija (45 months ago | reply)
Yes, guys, this An-2 is in very good hands. A plane as a horse - if it looks good, it mean the owner is good...
Today I saw three beautiful white pointed An-2 in very bad condition,because an owner forgot them... Tomorrow I'll go back and will take photos of them
