It's a relatively quick way to extend monetizing the An-2 (and I do LOVE her so), but I would much rather see an updated Bird Dog!

RE: AN2 ATSimulations, new project
Gentlemen and Ladies,
Admittedly it will never qualify for the most beautiful of aircraft, However, I am impressed! I have always had a fascination for Russian aircraft and their sometimes interesting ways of looking at things. I lived and worked in Russia for five years after the breakup of the Soviet Union, involved in providing air transport in support of Western Oil companies, and came to appreciate the way in which they approached many aeronautically related problems. Machines had to operate in remote regions, far from service facilities, in horrific climatic conditions, with little factory support, minor maintenance to be carried out by semi-skilled personnel, and still provide reliable services. They may not have been pretty, or particularly comfortable, but they were practical-witness the AN2, the AN24 and 26 etc.!! By the way for shear off-the-planet designs, look at the some of the later World War Two designs of say, Blohm and Voss etc. For an excellent reference re the AN2 and its derivatives and off shoots, (including the subject of this discussion), I refer you to the book, "Antonov An-2 Annushka, Maid of All Work" by Yefim Gordon and Dimitriy Komissarov, (Red Star Volume 15), published by Midland Publishing of Hinkley, LE10 3EY, England

@Catboat- if you look at my posting history you will note I am one of the An-2’s most devout admirers. Despite this, I would rather have seen them apply efforts towards the Birddog and not just extend this stream. That said, I am well aware the development direction of developers is seldom influenced by the clatterings of forum participants- still , hope springs eternal... I’d really fancy a beautiful L-19/O-1.
