A flight from another time.
No rush. No GPS. No comfort.
Just the drone of the engine, endless taiga below, and a sky that couldn’t care less.

Between Beloyarsky and Igrim – two places hardly anyone knows, connected by air, not by road.
I fly because there’s no other way.
I fly there because no one else does.

The An-2 doesn’t fly – it strolls through the sky.
You feel every shake, every creak, but also: the dignity of an old workhorse.

This is also a reminder to us that flying was never just a moment in time, but something that has endured despite all progress.

Nice to see you back Sir...great post showing a wonderful old aircraft
Thank you for all your comments as well

I will endeavour to continue.

Great shots, Andreas - the An 2 is a rumbly par excellence The old ones are still the best

Amazing machines, some great operating vids on YouTube too. Always intended to grab the Sibwings model for P3D but for some reason they withdrew it from sale.

Just a heads-up: While the SibWings An-2 sadly isn't available anymore, there are still some hidden gems out there.
For example, ORBX has a Freeware section that's often overlooked – I just picked up a lovely C-119 from there, which I used to fly years ago. Worth checking, even if the An-2 isn't listed.

If I come across a solid An-2 for P3D that's still legally obtainable, I’ll let you know. Would be great to see that beast in the sim again.

I'm also rebuilding my P3D setup these days – so I'm on the hunt myself.
