There's a bunch of AN-2's flying in the US under the Experimental rules. Along with a bunch of various Yaks. The FBO in Mom's home town (In Vermont) is an importer of Eastern European aircraft, specializing in the YAK-52 and Yak-12. They had an AN-2 for a while as well.

By the way Mom, what's the Identifier for your new place.... I've gotta at last virtually buzz the strip in Flight Sim  ::rofl::

Hahaha, that was a good one Brian, I don't think it's in FS, although then someone could make it together with the Minivan, like those classic scenery packs with a classic bi-plane and a small farm-house with a grass-strip. I can't test it in FSX though since I've used both my activations so now with a new computer, I couldn't get it to re-register and I've used up the test-time, and just when just the CPU alone made FSX a lot faster, and I haven't gotten my fast RAM yet, which is also twice the amount as before (2gb instead of 1gb).

In all seriousness, I'd love to participate in a fly-in, when you guys/gals are drinking beer and hanging out among the strippers then I'll take good care of the planes, I've always wanted to have a whole airport for myself :D

Nice idea of the An-2! By the way, is there any Antonov, or specificaly 2, in opertion in the US?

There are a number of them in the US.  There's a guy in Anchorage even who apparently collects / buys and sells them.   Guess he has a dozen and a number are always for sale?

Well, GEE....    ::)

I've been away too long.  Sorry to be behind on all these messages...  the airport I THINK I will be moving to is a dirt strip in SW Idaho, all of 1800 feet long... though it says 2500 feet, there is a stealth ditch which I would bet could EAT any unsuspecting airplane who tempted it.... 

I can't even recall what it looks like...  sheesh, maybe I need to look at that website...  I've been on the road, flying, since I found it, so really have no idea when I will be back home to even start moving...  ahhh, yes, Aviation sure is great...   ::bow::    what other job guarantees you don't even know what MONTH it is?!?!?!?!?!?!?   (Uh...  November, right?!?)   ::loony::

Anyway....  I HOPE I have a place still, whenever I get back home.....   ;D    ;D    ;D    ;D    ;D    ;D    ;D    ;D   ;D

If heaven ain't a lot like dixie,
I don't wanna go,
If heaven ain't a lot like dixie,
I'd just as soon stay home,
If they don't have a grand ol' Opry,
like they do down in Tennessee,
just send me to Hell, or New York City, it'd be about the same to me.- Hank Jr. 

PiperGirl, you just reminded me of that song.   
God looks out for drunks and dumb animals.  Fortunately, I qualify on both counts.
