In number the An-2 is the main aircraft of the AF. Many of these aircraft are stored. This line is standing on Siauliai-Zokniai Air Base, a very big former Soviet base.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Not the latest design, but a good plane for parachute dropping, people carrier and light cargo. This picture shows the immense propeller.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

These An-2's are still in use. The last one didn't receive the new colours yet. The first two in the row are painted in the new camouflage scheme. Both aircraft are fitted with a painting (badge?). On the first aircraft you can see an owl and the second aircraft is fitted with a tiger.
