The AN-2 is the largest single-engined biplane in the world, and its design goes back to the fourties, with the first AN-2 taking to the air in 1947. Production took place in Kiev, Ukraine SSR, and licence production was undertaken in China and Poland, with an estimated 18,000+ built between 1947 and 2001.

Due to its rugged construction and versatility, many AN-2 - also dubbed as 'Anna' - remain in service worldwide. Included is this all-blue example, registered as HA-ABA and operated by the Antonov Verein Schweiz for pleasure rides.

It was built at the PZL factory in Mielec, Poland, in 1990, and delivered to Aero Esztergom as HA-ABA. In 2000 it was acquired by AVS, still as HA-ABA, and was seen upon one of its rather rare visits to Zürich, parked at Sector F after arriving earlier that day, and named 'Tante Anna 2' (Aunt Anna 2). 

HA-ABA remains with the AVS today, and is currently based at Grenchen airport in Western Switzerland. It is available for charters, and AVS members can book it for pleasure rides.
