Club members in Samedan |
It took a lot of effort, but on met our goals on August 26th 2007, when the club was lawfully established. By then, specialists in Lithuania worked already for 5 Months on a machine carfeully selected by us. Finally, on September 30th the same year, we flew the completely and painstakingly overhauled, painted exactly by our vision, absolutely stunning and meticulously prepared An-2 from Lithuania to Switzerland.

The club's name:
Our club name AVIANNA is composed of the two words AVIA and ANNA, the russian affectionate name of the Antonov 2 in the former USSR. This resulted in AVIA-ANNA, simplified to AVIANNA. As a shorthand symbol, we sometimes use "ANC" (short for "ANTONOV CLUB AVIANNA").
The club's scope:
The ANC not only seeks to preserve the both historically and aeronautically significant Antonov 2 in flying condition, but moreover to share the fascination of it's technology and let a broad audience enjoy flying the classic way. Hence, we look forward to new members and heartily welcome them.
