65 Years Ago Today In Russia

The prototype Antonov An2 first took to the air with test pilot lesenko stating “The aircraft seemed reluctant to fly,but didnt want to land either” and a legend was born Happy Birthday Antonov An2.

Very nice. The russian airforce has got some older aircraft in use like the AN-2. If I’m correct they still use the yak-52 for training over there.
