That plane has been used for EVERYTHING for a long time. It's a classic. Somewhere there is a long documentary on YouTube about the AN-2.

I love it.

It looks like you could run faster than it was flying by. I’ve heard they can crank the the engines if they run into an electrical problems and spit gum and baling wire were really used to get it to fly out of some the fields they landed in (in Siberia).

Hilarious!

Thanks I’ll look for the documentary.

The value of An-2 is that it has quite a good payload and easier than car to maintain. It also takes talent to crash so easy and fool proof it is. These things belongs to the skies, they even have anchors on them for parking because aircraft tends to get airborne on itself under moderate wind.
