I guess he was conserving energy for the hangar party in the evening. This An-2 was originally supplied to the East German military organization GST - Gesellschaft für Sport und Technik (Sport and Technology Association) as DM-WJK in March 1970 (then DDR-WJE in May 1982). After reunification it was allocated the reg. D-FCJK but this was ntu, instead becoming D-FWJK in September 1995. The plane crashed on landing at Merseburg (EDAM) in September 2015 after it was caught by a gust of wind and flipped over. Fortunately, it could be repaired at PZL Mielec and returned to service.
