Antonov AN-2 Colt Workhorse Flexfit Hat

The Antonov AN-2 Colt is a legendary aircraft, renowned for its durability, versatility, and incredible STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) capabilities. First flown in 1947, this biplane has been used in a myriad of roles across the globe, from agricultural work to military operations. Its robust design allows it to operate in environments other planes dare not tread, including unprepared fields, deserts, and Arctic tundras. With a single radial engine, the AN-2 can carry up to 12 passengers or a variety of cargo, making it a workhorse of the skies. Its ability to fly slowly and even hover in a headwind has made it a favorite for parachute training and bush flying. The AN-2's enduring legacy is a testament to its design and utility, with some still in service today, over 70 years after its first flight.
