    Freeware An-2 for X-Plane

    There’s a nice looking old Antonov An-2 on the Hungarian site x-plane.hu for you to download. Although I’ve been traveling through the country for the past 37 years, my Hungarian skills are near zero, so I cannot tell you more than what can be found on the English language page.
