McCann said for the price of a DeHavilland Twin Otter, you could buy 50 An-2s. "I can't afford to fly it, so I might as well live in it," he said. According to an article by Stephan Wilkinson in "The Aviation Consumer," the An-2 was designed in 1947. The world's largest biplane, it has a 1,000-hp radial engine and seats 12 passengers. Aeroflot used the An-2 as its workhorse bush plane. The military version, the Colt, was used to transport parachute troops.
