I need to buy the AN-2 Airplane Flight Manual. Can you help me?

Stefan, stefanro2000(@)yahoo.com, 08.09.2007

The biggest biplane of all times, and the most reliable one, I can say. I know AN-2 who flew with wing ductaped, and AN-2 who flew in Syberia, Africa and Romania. The AN-2 can be considered a trademark of Russian reliability and endurance along with the AK-47.

The AN-2 is a very good old airplane, almost for cargo missions. I live in South of Venezuela, where you got this old warrior work in the dimond mines zone. in fact I am fliying one of this model, it is in perfec condition, If you want pictures of AN.2 in action, you only have to write me. KIKE
