Well one of the An-2s from the local field was doing his kill-the-mosquito-spray-run, now I'm not saying he was low or anything, and my dear Coolpix 3100 only has a 3x zoom, but these pictures aren't bad at all...
As seen from the kitchen window...

The best photo (I think, you can actually see her spraying

)

Return run (great view over the park and the flats opposite from my balcony, and yup he was only a few meters above the roof of the flats opposite)

Messed up the timing a little on this, but it shows how noisy an An-2 is at 20 meters or so

Somebody soiled their feathers

Very nice Mark. I love that last shot. LOL

I hope you weren't downwind of it. Although a good friend of mine ran the local cropspraying outfit I never trusted this spraying lark.

Still, I wish I had thoes than the stupid dump truck that go behind my house at all hours. >:(

I've never seem one in flight. I did see it at this year's aviation expo. The plane has seen better days and was leaking lots of oil.

I've just taken the rubbish down and there is a large splat on the drivers door. I'm just going to clean the airpistol and reduce the bird population numbers >:(

Oh and Stephen if you come to Hungary there are simply loads of An-2s and Zlins as they are the most popular kites here. I'll try and get over to the local airfield one weekend and get some snaps

Now this would be a welcome vista for us to all peruse.....not all of us get to see varying A/C on a daily basis..........last AN-2 I saw fly, was about four yrs ago...... ::)

........closest thing to rare for me, is the two Martin Mars I see from time to time....
