Why are there no Antonov AN-2's in the US?

All I can add here is that if you ever get the chance to jump one of these beauties, do it! -

I jumped one in Russia, several times...personally, it's one of my favorites. I don't really understand why anyone would have any objections to flying them in the U.S. I too was searching for ANs in the U.S. once and came across some interesting info... The AN-2 (Anton) is/was being used by the military, in relatively large numbers in Afghanistan, Iraq and other parts of the middle east. It's STOL, low and slow capabilities, reliability and range have made it useful as a search/scout and cargo plane. The An-2 is supposedly produced in a few different countries and by different mfgrs...so it's doubtful the quality is consistent. Here's some good info... http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=540734http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=540734 "T'was ever thus." -
My only line was "I really like your top....oh, an' the blouse ain't bad, either." Dunno' why but it actually worked. "T'was ever thus."

1. Cheap 2. Legal "T'was ever thus."

I'd raced MX for about 12+ years and despite several nasty crashes, I'd never broken a bone. At one particular race, I was bangin' handlebars with one rider from start to finish...we were fightin' for 1st place. Though I didn't fall and was never hit anywhere but in the hands and forearms, I ended the race with three broken ribs......braggin' rights not included. "T'was ever thus."

Old Soviet joke: Yeah, that's kinda' how I ended up going there. I'd forgotten that they'd changed it back to St. Petersburg....I was thinkin' Florida! "T'was ever thus."

Love St Pete! The women there are awsome , i mean the wine, yeah wine, i meant wine Yeah, yeah....that's it...thaaaat's the ticket! It's all about the wine. Lotsa' good jumpin' around there, too. "T'was ever thus."

Saint Petersburg (Leningrad) "T'was ever thus."

For some people, work is a noun. "T'was ever thus."
-
"Where all de' white wimmen!?!" "T'was ever thus."
-
...or worse....pull into a parking lot, with the turn signal stuck "on" and a full tank of gas! "T'was ever thus."

Only Marty Feldman could've pulled that off so well! Mel was always spot-on, with his casting. "T'was ever thus."
