yeah, the dreadnought was involved in a mid-air collision with a Cessna 210, which crashed into the waters of San Pablo Bay near Richmond, California, after it collided with the Hawker Sea Fury. Killed the pilot of the 210.

yes,i talked to Brian Saunders just after that crash...the whole bunch were upset..the cessna was owned by the family,and the pilot was one of the family pilots (not a relative)..it was a bad thing.

The last I heard the AN-2 was not certified for commercial operations in the US or Canada. It was said it was not because of any deficiency but when they were going so cheap they would have devastated the market for Western aircraft
