ANBO II

The ANBO II was a parasol-wing monoplane aircraft built in Lithuania in 1927 as a pilot trainer for the Army.

The plane was not produced in series, yet it served as a prototype for latter trainers Anbo-III and Anbo-V/51,[1] developed by Antanas Gustaitis.

A full size flying replica was restored in 2012-2016 by Rolandas Kalinauskas and Arvydas Šabrinskas.

[2] On August 8, 2021 after an engine failed during a climb at the altitude of 20–30 meters the aircraft crashed at Cesis Airfield, near Priekuļi, Latvia.

The plane stalled resulting in a fatal crash for both the pilot Arvydas Šabrinskas, and the aircraft.
