Fly in Australia's only resident airworthy
 

Antonov.

The AN2 first flew in 1947, and was used in various roles such as a passenger airliner for Aeroflot and a bomber in Poland. Around 20,000 AN2 were built from 1947 to 1997. Until recently it held the record for the longest production line for any aircraft, only just being beaten by the Lockheed C130 Hercules. The AN2 is still currently used globally. Its slow flight and good field performance make it suited for short, unimproved fields.

This aircraft is owned and operated by the Saario Brothers, Seppo, Pauli and Vesa. Our aircraft was Built in 1989 by PZL-MIELEC in Poland, VH-CCE AN-2TP (Transport Passenger) was imported into Australia by Barry Hempel in the 1990’s.  The aircraft is configured for 12 passengers and 2 pilots (total 14POB). Australian law limits us to carry 9 passengers and 2 crew. VH CCE is newer than some of the jets that QANTAS operate. The maintenance is carried out by qualified engineers that have been working on the aircraft for numerous years. The engineers also have extensive experience on the PZL Dromader Ag aircraft which has the same engine and propeller as the AN2.
