Man, i thought the Antonov 2P was old but reliable... 10 minutes out of Dehli it prooved me wrong, the engine went puff puff... and halted!

Image

Some off my passengers didn't wait for the next part...

Image

After the shock of loosing the engine i gathered my senses and decided to try to reach Dehli again... Pity it was IFR, well didn't matter, radio was down too. Back to analoge gauges i suppose...

Image

I entered the soup and just in time found the runways... but i was still very high...

Image

After a couple of manouvers i decided to go for it and selected my runway...

Image

Darn... overshot it, align, align!

Image

Still don't know how exactly i got on the runway, even though i went over it to come to a full stop...

Image


I must have stayed half an hour in that cockpit! look close, you still can see the glaze in my eyes...

They had one of these when at the Canadian Aviation Expo when I went there in June. It's one ugly aircraft and it was leaking a ton of oil.

Omag,it's not the plane unreliable,it's the pilot... ;)

If you open cowl before take off and hold it open all the flight,engine won't stop.It stops because of overheating.
