Making its maiden flight in 1947, the multi-purpose An-2 is the founder of the 'An family'. A successful passenger and cargo aircraft, it is also used for a variety of agricultural, scientific, military and medical purposes. Reflecting its status as one of the world's most enduring and versatile aircraft, it is used as a flying ambulance, for crop-dusting and water-bombing forest fires, in geological surveying and atmospheric sampling, and for light military work, including dropping paratroops. |
