Unfortunately the shots don't bring up the mountain textures as good as they look in the sim.

Lovely set of photos!

Do really miss my Sibwing's An-2 Colt, have not been able to port it over to P3D V4 :cry:

I'm hoping another developer will bring it to life!

Thanks for the heads up, most definitely going to be flying into my hanger when she's released! Also saw that there will be a Porter PC-6! Loved Piglets version but this one sound great!

Me being an old country boy from Texas that is almost 80 y/o with about 37 hundred plus flight hours in C-47 , Bronco ,,L 19 and a bunch more, I have never seen one of these AN-2 Russian built aircraft in real life. I have read about them I have flown them on the puter. A very versatile aircraft great for a lot of things such as freight hauling,passenger service and even spraying crops with them but what I like the most about it is the cockpit windows. They are what I would call garden windows. I bet that would be useful in landing and spraying jobs!!! I would give a pretty penny to get my hands on one [only in my dreams.] Can`t fly no more except on the internet as I have to take to much medicine. I have no ticket for any a/c. I might be able to fly a drone!!haha. My neighbors my not like that as there are some beauties laying by the pool with high fences and big husbands so that is out!!! Please don`t feel sorry for me though I still have wonderful dreams of many great years of flight for my country and personal time also a few in Vietnam that would make you have to change your drawers!!!! Thanks for letting me ramble from my old rocking chair. Roy

Thanks Shadowcaster, I truly appreciate your remarks. I have many tales to tell, some funny, some adventurous, some mysterious and some so very very sad especially my tours in Nam of which I have so many regerts that just tears my heart out. Most of them we considered bad but they all had hopes and dreams,families and we really had no business over there. But we followed orders just like any good soldier would and brought havoc and heart break to our selves our families and quite frankly to our country and certainly to the people of Vietnam!!!
