Retro Antonov An-2’s Smoky Radial Engine Start Up

Amazing Engine Performance!

If you don’t succeed on the first try, try and try again. That should be the motto of this vintage Antonov An-2.

Its crew tried to start its engine a few times and were met with disappointment as it only managed to blow smoke out of its exhausts.

However, after a few more tries, the aircraft finally started up and later performed a flight with skydivers on board – talk about a proper workhorse!

You can really hear the sound of its powerful Shvetsov ASh-62 engine. Have you seen this massive plane in person before? What was it like?
