I'm rather surprised AWS does not seem to have the Antonov AN-2!

The AN-2 "Annushka" (NATO: 'Colt') was a widely successful, mass-produced, dual-purpose, large biplane of the Soviet era which saw service across a large part of the world in its original form. Today, the upgraded turboprop-powered variants (as well as a few vintage ones) are still operated commercially in developing nations. Specifications below.

In AWS, the AN-2 would be a nice used airplane stock for 1955 starts for both cargo and short-haul passenger airlines, especially with the limited selection of dedicated cargo aircraft in those early game years. In fact, due to its long real-life production run (ended in 2001), the factory line should remain open for New orders even in 1955 starts. For balance, the airplane should have both low acquisition & maintenance costs (which is realistic in both cases). Over the years the option to convert to the AN-3 (1980) and AN-2-100 (2013) turboprop conversions should be given (I'm happy to research more data for these variants if the AN-2 is accepted!)
