In short: Everywhere! Thanks to her unique flight characteristics, the Antonov An-2 can land at airports of any size and style (grass/asphalt). With some planning, you can even land on the field of your friendly farmer. The Range of Rusalka would even allow Birrfeld-Heathrow. We compiled some flight ideas on the Page "Flights".

Even though we sometimes joke about it ("the left wing is mine!"), Rusalka is owned and operated by the club.
