The Siberian Aviation Science and Research Institute (SibNIA) based at Novosibirsk started to update the An-2 general-purpose aircraft several years ago. The resulting aircraft, designated TVS-2-DTS, arrived at Zhukovsky just a few days after its maiden flight on July 10 with Vladimir Barsuk and Igor Mosyeykin at the controls. To achieve its debut appearance, the aircraft flew nearly 3,000km (1,846 miles) from Novosibirsk to Zhukovsky without landing.
