There is also one that fly or flew out of Bardstown airport in KY.

This one belonged to the Commemorative Air Force, and flew into the
Hawthorne Ca. Air Fair in 2004. Northrop also owned one for a short period
of time (This may be it, but, I'm not sure.) It was painted silver overall.

According to an An-2 owner's website, there are 56 An-2s on the U.S.
registry. I think the poster's point was about the inter-war U.S. colors
painted on the Polish-registered An-2 in his photo.

More of the same aircraft he

....and this. Good ol' duct tape, yet another use.

A quick search of the FAA database today (www.faa.gov) resulted in 21 AN-2s
18 AN-2, 2 AN-2R, and 1 AN-2T.

I used "Antonov" and "AN-2" for one search and "Antonov" and "AN2" and got
the same results.

Leaving the manufacture field blank and just searching on AN-2 yeilded 46
hits. 19 of these were a PZL-Mielec AN-2, 1 listed as a "World Jet Inc -
Anton AN-2, 5 listed as WSK-Mielec AN-2, and 1 listed as WSK PZL-Mielec AN-
2. The other hits were NOT AN-2's.

Adding the two together totals 44 AN-2 on the US registry.

I recall browsing the PZL website quite a while ago. They had pictures
of a restored AN-2 with a beautiful corporate interior.

It was an impressive looking aircraft.
