August 29 2021. This is a AN2 Antonov aircraft on floats, very rare to see. The plane was built in Poland and is in Canada under a Special CofA it appears. I say that because on the door it is marked EXPERIMENTAL, a little reading and that seems is the only way it can be registered in Canada. I also read on the internet that Canada doesn't want planes in Canada that would compete against Canada's homebuilt bush planes. The floats and attachment hardware all appear to be brand new as they are all pristine. The floats are made out of fiberglass and much cost a pretty penny. There are no water rudders on the floats so that may be an item yet to be installed or i don't know how they would steer it. What a huge beast this plane is!
Update: I found out the floats were custom designed by the owner with plans to market them. They have installed inside the floats a water jet system for steering.
