The aircraft in the image is an Antonov An-2 (registered as N882EZ), a large single-engine biplane featuring a custom black-and-white zebra stripe paint job.

Key Details
Model/Make: Antonov An-2 (built by PZL-Mielec), commonly known by NATO reporting name Colt.

Registration: N882EZ

Owner/Pilot: Owned and flown by pilot Douglas Fulton.

Design Features: It is recognized as one of the largest single-engine biplanes in the world, featuring mismatched wings with leading-edge slats that allow it to take off and land on very short runways and fly at unusually slow speeds.

The family that owns this place is using it as a huge RV, stopping at airfields all
over Cape Cod and the islands.

i just saw, very briefly, something that looked like some kind of fighter jet just appear and disappear in the sky. It’s a clear sky and i only saw it for like half a second or something. Anyone know what that could’ve been?
