This An-2R never operated with the Polish AF. The only link to Poland is that it was built there with PZL Mielec. It was delivered to Aeroflot in November 1975 and remained there until July 1992 as CCCP-19736. In 1993, the An-2 went to the USA as N22AN. In 2000, the aircraft ended up in this museum where it first was painted to represent a Soviet AF aircraft (coded 44 white), and then to represent Polish AF "6550" (which never existed).

Built in 1975 and registered as CCCP-19736. Sold in the USA and became the second N22AN in Apr 1993 (the first N22AN was An-2TD c/n 1G142-35 in 1975). Soon abandoned in Mexico, but later salvaged and loaned to the March Field Air Museum, delivered 7 Oct 2000. It was repainted in these fake DOSAAF markings in 2004, but in 2013 they were replaced by much nicer but equally fake Polish Air Force markings. Registration N22AN was finally cancelled on 19 May 2015.

Huge is the word that comes to mind. Ex N22AN.

Ex N22AN. This Colt was recovered from a small town in Mexico where it had been abandoned for many years. Now receiving all the TLC this old girl deserves at the super March Field Air Museum and looking truely tremendous in her latest re-incarnation
