Polish An-2 farewell - air to air

[Bartek]

After 57 years in line last Polish Antonov-2 has been retired. On Friday I got chance to catch him in the air for the very last time.

Great stuff as per! Shame to see it's their last flight. Where is it going, or is it being scrapped/sold on?

Great set! Was lucky enough to get a flight in a civilian AN-2 when I was in Poland in august, really nice machine, like flying a tractor

I always look forward to your posts Bartek - I know you have the good fortune of making air 2 air shots but I always enjoy the perspectives and clarity you achieve ( Slightly jealous). The An2 has a soft spot for me as I did a series of jumps from them when I was working in Russia, before I damaged my back - once I was sure the pilot had too much vodka! A great plane! Keep the good work up look forward to loads more quality posts.

As usual Bartek superb images and even better use of shutter speeds, nice to see some movement in them! Number 3 is the pick for me, very dynamic!
