Wikipedia- The Antonov An-2 (Russian nickname: "Annushka" or "Annie"; "kukuruznik"—corn crop duster; USAF/DoD reporting name Type 22,[5] NATO reporting name Colt[6]) is a Soviet mass-produced single-engine biplane utility/agricultural aircraft designed and manufactured by the Antonov Design Bureau beginning in 1946.[4] 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.An-2Antonov AN-2 (cropped).jpgAn-2 of the Estonian Air ForceRoleAgricultural and utility aircraftManufacturerAntonovDesignerOleg AntonovFirst flight31 August 1947[1]StatusSeries production may still continue in China as the Shijiazhuang Y-5;[2] engine refitting project underway[3]Primary usersSoviet UnionNorth KoreaChinaMany othersProduced1947–2001Number built18,000+[4]VariantsAntonov An-3The An-2 was designed as a utility aircraft for use in forestry and agriculture. However, the basic airframe is highly adaptable and numerous variants of the type have been developed; these include hopper-equipped versions for crop-dusting, scientific versions for atmospheric sampling, water-bombers for fighting forest-fires, flying ambulances, float-equipped seaplane versions and lightly armed combat versions for dropping paratroops.[7] The most common version is the An-2T 12-seater passenger aircraft. All versions (other than the An-3) are powered by a 750 kW (1,010 hp) nine-cylinder Shvetsov ASh-62 radial engine, which was developed from the Wright R-1820.[4] The An-2 typically consumes 2.5 l/min (0.66 US gal/min; 0.55 imp gal/min).[8]

Taking off- normal, full throttle, wait until tail wheel comes up and then elevator up

Flying- normal controls

Landing- brakes activate flaps, DO NOT TOUCHDOWN WITH BRAKES ON instead wait until firmly grounded before activating brakes to slow down

Enjoy!
