Photos of the day: Y-5 single-engine biplane is alive and well in China

As the Y-12D light utility STOL started entering service in greater numbers during the last two years, the China AirForce is also keen on keeping a few copies of the old Y-5C (Antonov An-2) around for fresh-meat airborne troops training. The old Y-5 is still not completely phased out yet.

The first Soviet Annushka rolled out of production in 1946, that is 71 years ago if you are counting.
