There is one at the museum in Chico, California, if that is what you
were wondering



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

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

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.
