Scary fact I've seen this aeroplane. Its in Hungary!!!
Poor old An-2!
There is also a restaraunt made out of an aged Ilyushkin near Budapest. That is pretty cool actually, and the grub is good.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

In most cases the alternative seems to be the scrapman, so I've no objectios to (unairworthy) aeroplanes being used like this...

In the case of the '17 I think it's been there for years...
