A couple of other experimental Anushkas:

- one with a gun turret

- one with a jet engine (though in this case it was crazy Poles)

Not the same aircraft as I was trying (and failing) to post but very nice
indeed.

I'll attempt to post my picture again in a couple of minutes.

For some reason, it seems this one didn't make it through - at least on my
Giganews feed - so here it is (again).

Apologies if you've already seen it but, let's be honest, you can never see
too many jet biplanes (or jet plus prop as in this case).

As far as I know, that was the only jet-powered biplane to ever enter
production. It was a commercial flop.

Insane video of what you can do with an An-2

The An-2 continues to soldier on. Video: Any slower and it'd be flying
backwards.
