Antonov AN2 Colt

Antonov AN2 Colt VH-CCE Lilydale

I popped out to Lilydaye aerodrome to see what was there recently and found a couple of interesting birds, including this yellow monster! I've seen plenty of pics of Colts, but it was surprising to see one in the tin. The thing is not much smaller than a DC-3. I know it has been in-country for a while, but I've not ever seen it in the air. looking at their website, it appears to be flying out of Caboolture now. The website carries this message: WARNING “PERSONS FLY IN THIS AIRCRAFT AT THEIR OWN RISK. THIS AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND IS NOT OPERATED TO THE SAME SAFETY STANDARDS AS A NORMAL COMMERCIAL PASSENGER FLIGHT” I think I'll leave that one alone!
