52 year old Antonov An-2 was badly burnt by the flames from its engine exhaust.

By design, flames flare up when starting the small propeller engine, however at this time, the flames have spread to the right wing and badly burned, at Leumnitz airfield in Germany.

The Aircraft belongs to Thuringian parachute club and used by parachutists for leisure flights.
