Aeroflot?

How many passengers can it carry?

Its a flying-canoe! 

Never heard of it, but I like it! 

I want one, a real one!

Pilot and two passengers. Aeroflot's remit covered everything from survey flights, cargo and mail as well as passenger service acrosd the USSR. The Sh-2 wasn't the only small type they operated.

Just for Tophe of course.
