The Antonov An-2 (Russian: "Annushka") 'Annie' crop duster. USAF/DoD reporting name Type 22 NATO reporting name Colt with a four blade propeller and enclosed canopy. This is a Soviet mass-produced single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft designed and manufactured by the Antonov Design Bureau beginning in 1946. Its remarkable durability, high lifting power, and ability to take off and land from poor runways have given it a long service life. The An-2 was produced up to 2001 and remains in service with military and civilian operators around the world. [Wiki]
