Kukuruznik
- On the postcard you can see a monoplane - a plane with one pair of wings.
- I’ll tell you about an biplane, which has two pair of wings, one above the other.
- One of the most famous biplane is AN-2, which has been operated since 1947.
- The plane got into the Guinness Book of Records as only plane which produced for over 70 years.
- In Russia it also named Kukuruznik,because usually it was used for field processing.
- Its main benefits - ease of use, takeoff and landing on unprepared sites, low takeoff and mileage.
- Also it often was used in regional flights and for the disembarkation of amateur parachutists.
- Exactly from AN-2 I made my parachute jump, almost 10 years ago.
- Now I’m again fired up with this idea.
- I just doubt that in my current city I can do it.
- Neighboring Poland and Lithuania are closed, so I need to go to my hometown which is 3500 km away.
- Although it would be cool to jump there again.
- So much time passed but I’m sure, they still disembark from good old Kukuruznik.
