Looks like an old Antonov An-2 Colt.

Tango3 · 20th May 2006

Antonov 2 it is. Wished they allowed photograhy at Seletar. Such a fine beast to photograph.

i've also noticed that the traffic around seletar airport has been on a rise of late. can see lotsa private jets, trainers, biplanes and once i saw a Air-Asia B737 on final.

I think the air asia 737 are there for servicing from ST.

AK does their maintenance at Seletar with SASCO I believe. I also think that CZ has awarded SASCO the contract to "convert" some ATA B73Hs to CZ configs.

So far there is this yellow one and another blue/white one.

i always know when this plane is around, its the loudest noise you can hear except jet takeoffs

Could it possibly be the Chinese version of the AN2 called the Y5?
Apparently it is still in production.
