Antonova , which is intended to replace the obsolete An-2 , An-28 , L-410 and partially An-24 and Yak-40 ; in December 1994, the second flight instance took off. It is noteworthy that the Design Bureau. O.K. Antonova was created on the territory of the plant: it was designed and completed the first flights of the An-2 .
