Flight on the An-2: from engine start to landing - Legendary Sound

• Turn up the VOLUME (preferably with headphones) to hear the bass rumble of the nine-cylinder, air-cooled, radial aircraft engine Shvetsov ASh-62IR with a takeoff power of 1,000 horsepower! We filmed the entire flight with parachutists dropping from an altitude of 800 meters (~ 2,625 feet). • Date: September 14, 2024 • Airport: Kalachevo Airfield Airport (XSCW), Kopeysk, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia • Pilot in command: Sergey Vyatkin • Equipment used for video filming: GoPro HERO7 Black action camera ⚠️ Please don't forget to like this video, subscribe to my YouTube channel and don't forget to click the notification bell 🔔 ✅ Since the same questions are asked in the comments, I decided to post answers to some of them (FAQ): 1. "How old is this plane? Why is it so old?" - this particular An-2 biplane is not that old and was built on January 17, 1990 at the Polish aircraft factory PZL Mielec 🇵🇱 For example, the last American long-range strategic bomber Boeing B-52H Stratofortress was produced on June 22, 1962, and these aircraft will remain in service until at least the 2060s! 🇺🇸 2. "What is this "anti-theft" on the control column/yoke for?" - this is the control column/yoke and rudder pedals control lock. It is needed for parking fixation of the position of the control surfaces (elevator, rudder and ailerons), as well as parts of their control systems. Fixation is necessary to prevent spontaneous movements of the control surfaces from side to side due to the effect of wind when the aircraft is parked and to prevent unnecessary wear of the kinematics ("loosening") or breakdowns; 3. "What is the handle (or lever) on the left side of the yoke and what "hisses" when you press it?" - this is main brake handle. The An-2 aircraft has an air brake system. • Time marks for easy navigation through the video (chapters): 00:00 Preparing to start the engine 01:36 Start of spinning up the flywheel of the RIM-U-24IR electric inertial starter 02:18 Start of the nine-cylinder, air-cooled, radial aircraft engine Shvetsov ASh-62IR with a takeoff power of 735.45 kilowatt (1,000 horsepower) at the parking lot 08:05 Engine run-up 10:10 Taxiing from parking lot for loading parachutists on board 12:36 Taxiing along the grass runway to the line-up for takeoff 15:15 Takeoff from unpaved runway 31 Climbing to altitude of 800 meters (~ 2,625 feet) 23:14 Dropping the calibration tape to determine the exit point 25:58 Dropping one parachutist to clarify the exit point (in parachutist jargon, "throw out for meat" 😂) 29:12 Two passes to drop the remaining group of parachutists (4 + 4) using D-6 series 4 parachute systems 36:27 Approach for landing and landing 38:25 Removal of the "obstacle" (one parachutist who landed on taxiway) by the jumpmaster, whom I forgot on the taxiway... 😁 #An2 #Biplane #GoPro #Skydiving
