Designed as a multirole aircraft the russian built Antonov An-2 was widely used by the Eastern Bloc military forces. Used in both military and civil roles for crop-dusting, scientific versions for atmospheric sampling, water-bombers for fighting forest-fires, flying ambulances, float-equipped seaplane versions, lightly armed combat versions for dropping paratroops, and of course the most common An-2T version, which is the 12-seater passenger aircraft.

PM me for the model!
Thanks!!!

Very nice little plane, I'd like to see it in IL2 =D

[Batbomb]

Yes.The AN-2 is a really important plane for cold war. But It is worked on at AviaSkins as far as I know. From what I can derive from the screens it makes really good advantage.

[HundertzehnGustav]

definitely a very useful workhorse, for many states in many regions over a very vast time span.

thumbs up

Yes, it's nice plane and flying legend which known all-around USSR, but "little"... In this "little" plane some guys transporting a live cow. And were unloaded in flight because a cow's RAAAGE.

that's a nice one i'd like to see on Il-2!! Here's something that may help:

[Gaston]

The biggest one-engined biplane aircraft in the world, I think ! A good suggestion, thanks !

[Bizu]

In romania the plane is still used today in utilitary aviation

[Sleepingdragon]

They can be found all over the world, as they are very useful and reliable. I've seen two at US airshows a few yrs ago.  North Korean spec ops are supposedly equipped wiht these for spec. ops stealth attacks when they decide to "liberate" S. Korea. Supposedly. Sounds goofy enough to be true. They would be hard to detect at night and low.

At least one was shot down by a Huey that encountered it in Vietnam in the late 60s, but I forget the details on taht. It's got plenty of uses, and should have paratroop capability if anyone makes one. I know I'd sure find uses for it.

Any news on this plane?

Could this FSX/FS2004 model be imported to IL-2?

+1. Always been fascinated by this plane which pops up in all sorts of interesting movies and places. btw, is that a bull's pizzle hanging from the controls in the photo above? Has anyone modded one of those before?
