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.

Ozzy :)

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...
