The Antonov AN-2, Russian nickname: "Annushka" or "Annie", (ICAO: AN2 / WAKE: LIGHT) is a Soviet single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft. Created in Second Life by Adventure Air, the aircraft was based on the real-life Antonov AN-2 designed and manufactured by the Antonov Design Bureau (now State Company) since 1946.
Background
The An-2 is used as a light utility transport, parachute drop aircraft, agricultural work and many other tasks suited to this large slow-flying biplane. Its slow flight and good field performance make it suited for short, unimproved fields, and some specialized variants have also been built for cold weather and other extreme environments. The Guinness Book of World Records states that the 45-year production run for the An-2 was for a time the longest ever, for any aircraft, but it was recently exceeded by the Lockheed C-130 Hercules.
Adventure Air's AN-2 comes equipped with two undercarriage choices, parachute drop function, three pre-loaded liveries, working instruments and functioning lights.
