I posted pic of this beast before, however the scale is truly apparent sitting next to a Cessna 150.

Could be yours for 10K per the sign. Stated "fully restored" but looking closely, there were issues. The pristine examples running around Lake Tahoe are floating art bit man are they beautiful.

Years back I was doing a cert dive at a Fallen Leaf Lake. On Saturday all of the berths were full with all these wooden classics. On Sunday one of the 20' examples only had its front 2' poking out of the water. Aledgedly, the owner "forgot" to install the drain plug????? How does that happen? Kinda smelled like insurance to me.

Well, yes, the An-2 carries 12 pax. The 152 carries 1 pax.
Is STOL also.

I think it's still manufactured in China

Now that you mention it, yeah. I traveled enough miles in one of those and that threat from the back of the car was always in the back of my mind.
