One for the pilot with extended family and friends, and suitable farm strip on the estate.
MEGA!!
is the the english saying “old soldiers never die!!!!”
Perfect for the new EASA SET-IMC OPS? :)
Extremely good availability of spare airframes.
But how can one get it IFR certified? 
I think it was used for a lot of IFR flying in Soviet Union. I have not seen the type certificate but it might already be IFR certified.
this is almost a new aircraft….it looks similar to AN-2, it´s based on An-2 but has a completely new wings and a new fuselage 30% (or even 40%y) roomier. Produced by Sibnia (www.sibnia.com – not updated for while). The had even flown a single wing version some years ago – before they have both wings ready. here
the engine is ex Garret, now Honeywell, Garmin avionics. Some more pics at my MAKS 2017 gallery –
yep, I understand as well An-2 was never type certified.
BTW, they same company had converted 3 engine Yak-40 into 2 engine aircraft. The first ever Yak-40 having flown from Novosibirsk to Moscow without refueling. But fighting drag of Yak-40 thick wings is not easy…http://www.rusaviainsider.com/insight-yak-40-switches-western-engines/
