Departing for the return flight to Malmö.

Delivered to British Airways as G-BDXC in 1977. Withdrawn from use at Cardiff in 2001. Sold to European Aviation for parts in 2002.

Even the Soviet data files only has one single report of this An-2, YV-729CP. The cn is visable on the slide, but not big enough to read.

During my visit, I thought this cabin was original. I later found out that NASA had stripped out the interior and that it had been completely restored in 1994. Sold to Lewis Air Legends and aircraft is being restored and being made airworthy in 2018 at Chino Airport.

The interior of this aircraft was completely restored in 1994 in Addison, TX. This photo looks forward towards the cockpit.

This aircraft, named Bataan, was the personal aircraft of General Douglas McArthur during the early 1950's. After retirement from the USAF in 1966, it flew with NASA as NASA422 and later N422NA until 1969 when it was flown to the US Army Aviation Museum at Fort Rucker, Alabama. It was purchased by the Planes of Fame Museum in 1994 and completely restored. Acquired by Lewis Air Legends and flown to Chino, CA in January 2016. Lewis plans on putting the aircraft on the airshow circuit after completion of a comprehensive restoration at Chino.
