ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Trip Report...The Russian workhorse

Post by joostvandeelen »

Hi all,

Back again with a small trip report on yesterday´s aviation action.
I recently booked a roundflight from Teuge on a Classicwings An2 since it was about time to add a russian built plane to my experiences.
Here are some pictures, some a bit vintage..trip was excellent!

Most of AN-2s were built in Poland, so probably Polish...

The D-FONL is the former 888 of the NVA.
Construction Number is 17802, so my guess is that it was built in the Soviet Union.

The Polish built An-2 have c/n starting with 1G-... (or am I wrong on that?)

Best regards Rob.
