as I watched this video I thought to myself how fun it must be to fly like a bird... thank you for sharing this video I really enjoyed watching it here is a smiley for you ----> =)
This plane is so sweet in the air it's practically stall-proof. In case of engine failure control column to your stomach and just try to keep the wings level. It will sink slowly under total control, wing slats will pop out automatically. It will hit the ground hard but there should be no serious injuries.
@fu3agtim it's in the POH for the aircraft, may as well try it if the engine goes out. the an-3 will impact the ground at 40kph i believe. definitely survivable, that's like a bad bicycle wipeout.
I have just a small Sony and wideangle lens is not the solution alone then there are a big difference in light inside ans outside so you cant get both in a good way - exept the sun is behind
Cool aircraft! 2 of these AN-2's were shot down over Laos by an Air America UH-1 Crew Chief using an AK-47. They were the ONLY fixed-wing aircraft shot down by a helicopter during the entire Vietnam War. The AN-2's were bombing a USAF radar station called Phan Thiet, if my memory is correct. This is a fantastic old aircraft, thanks!
parabéns...bela aeronave!!! aqui no Brasil tem um AN-2 à venda....ai se eu tivesse dinheiro!!!também iria fazer belos vídeos.

Best AN2 video I've seen so far!
My favourite aeroplane I think, if I could learn to fly and have any aircraft, this would be it.

great video - you should try using a wideangle lens (fisheye) - you will then get more picture in the cockpit . works great

Are the hissing sounds on the ground from air brakes? I've never flown an aircraft which sounds like that.

AN-2 is awesome and has a beautiful engine sound!
Some of these are flying form time to time over my home!

I've heard that you really have to stand on that right rudder because the P-factor is so bad.

Of all the aircraft startups, this one is the best. Very unique. Love that whistling sound. :D 5 stars.

Sounds alot like an M-18 Dromader...at least to me it does. I work with one everyday.

I've heard the AN-2 and the M-18 have the same engine.
