Ya, landing INTO Watts Bridge led me to believe that this was a crash video. I guess Watts Bridge is a place? An airport?

Always like looking at AN2's, let me know when you got some full power take off footage, Thanks vern

These things were made to carry cows! They were smoke jumper planes and carried the mail to Siberia. I think kids like them too. Antonov still makes them right?

[siuoo]

Probably you know more than me regarding to this kind of aircraft :-)

Since 1960, most An-2s have been built at Poland's WSK factory in Mielec, with over 13,000 made there before full production ended in 1991. Limited production from part stocks, as well as spares and maintenance coverage continues. The An-2 is also built under license in China as the Shijiazhuang Y-5.

[lookoo200200]

@mungo23 Last An-2 ordered by Vietnam was produced in PZL Mielec, Poland in 2002. 12 000 airplanes of this type were built there, out of 16 000 in total.
