With small titles below the windows. While on a goodwill tour through Asia this An-2 crashed on 21 September 1991 during an emergency landing on the Indonesian island of Lombok, after its engine failed. All seven members of its crew survived the crash, though four suffered serious burns. It caught fire and exploded after crash-landing in a narrow valley near Bayan, Lombok. It had been travelling from Berlin to Sydney to mark the 100 years since Otto Lilienthal from Germany introduced the concept of wings for manned flight in 1891, which is generally considered as the beginning of human flight.

This Colt was originally delivered to the Arkhangelsk directorate of Aeroflot in February 1986 as CCCP-40981. From June 2009 it had been flying with Heritage of Flying Legends but those markings/sticker have now been removed and it sports these small 'Aerovia' titles instead.

Seen at the Todays Pilot Magazine Fly-in, this immaculate AN-2 is seen starting in a cloud of smoke. The aircraft carries a modified exhaust to divert this smoke away.

This Colt was first registered to Slov-Air in February 1980. It was reregistered to Aero Slovakia in early 1994 and now sits parked up without titles at Jihlava.

A nice surprise during the 2000 Baltic Link exercise was this Estonian An-2.

This aircraft arrived in CFU in 2013, en-route to Africa - it remained there in 2017 and to my knowledge is still there in 2020!
