Sammie,

Thanks for your reply. What bothers me is that the An-14 is a piston aircraft that has been replaced since by the An-28 (with turbines). Even though the An-28/M-28 is probably still supported by its Polish manufacturer, I guess that engine reliability and parts availability must be a nightmare. Or am I totally wrong on this one?


P68B,

Thanks... but actually no, thanks. An-2 is too big (radial engine), P68 is too small. I mentioned 1 ton for the pax, bowling balls, Steinway grand piano and palimino horses, and I really need that ton (+/- 200 kg).
