jimjumper 25 #1 May 7, 2016 This was in the news yesterday. Happened near San Bernardino, CA. Anybody ever jump this one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 558 #2 May 7, 2016 Antonov 2s are popular jump-planes in Eastern Europe, but were never approved for commercial operation in North America. At best, AN-2s fly with "restricted" registration, like most of the other communist-surplus airplanes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RMK 3 #3 May 8, 2016 Jumped one several times; we have one here at Hinton that makes an occasional load. Pretty cool and old-school. The door (though standing height) is only wide enough for one person. As for time to jump run - bring a packed lunch."Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to attend his classes" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldwomanc6 38 #4 May 8, 2016 That particular airplane was used for a calendar shoot back in the early '80s in So. Cal. I can't remember which airport it flew out of for this shoot. Lizard Waltzer, among others were in the shot.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #5 May 13, 2016 Didn't realise they had one at Hinton. Might have to take a trip back over to my birth dz. I wonder if they'll honour 10 year old a ticket... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
