Here's one of the special attractions of the Cable Airport Air Show --- an Antonov An-2 "Colt". This light utility aircraft is the largest single-engine biplane ever built, and despite it's age, it's super-popular (over 18000 were built!);

This example, "Big Panda", is owned and flown by one of the airshow organizers. These guys are so into their aircraft, that said organizer was actually *married* in this aircraft while in flight. XD
This aircraft also performs a neat trick every during the airshow that you have to see to believe --- it slows-down so much, it almost hovers!;
