Yeah, that's a nice one. I like the video about the An-2 engine start, too:

One question: What in hell is he doing firing it up inside a hangar?
That blows dust and crap all over the place! I also see that the tractor
is parked in front of the tail, so the tail would strike it if the plane
moved. Dumb move!

It also looked (and sounded) as if the engine had not run in a while, as
it took so long for all cylinders to start firing.

I've seen lots of beavers fire up and I never saw one that took more
than a few turns of the blade to fire up and start running on all
cylinders.
