Wanted: Crazy adventurer(s)
Greetings
I'm casting around for someone, equally crazy, who might also be interested in sharing the adventure - and cost - of buying some former eastern-bloc aeronautical heritage and flying it all the way back here.
Something not-too-thirsty like a Wilga or a Zlin Z-142. Or, if we found a few other tragics (preferably one with LAME qualifications), we could even entertain a beastly Antanov An-2.
Interested?

Wanted,crazy adventurers
A mate of mine once worked at Shannon,in the 70's,and he reckoned an Antonov 2 would appear,presumably from Russia,land,re-fuel and then take off again for,presumably Cuba.
Never any volunteers to go for a jolly on it though.

You must be a masochist wanting to fly an Antonov or a Wilga to Australia then go through the pain and frustration of putting in on the Australian register.
I suspect there may be a Antonov AN-2 and a Wilga for sale in Queensland. Barry Hempel had an AN-2 at Archerfield and there was a Wilga at Mareeba that could be for sale.
Go to Zuccoli's hangar at Toowoomba airport, last hangar on the western end. Those guys may know what Russian and/or ex military aircraft are for sale.
