Nice looking planes, and good at doing the job.

Some friends at my local airport just flew in a AN-2
a very large biplane. Has a 1000 hp engine.
Its kinda ugly, but I'll go take some pics of it anyway and post them.

in the meantime heres my wife taxiing out for some aerobatics in the 8kcab.
Yes, I took the N# off
