Another aircraft with similar capabilities to the An-2 is the Helio Courier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helio_Courier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helio_Courier).
I was with a friend who was flying his Helio to Orange County Airport (b4 it was named John Wayne Airport). On approach, tower asked for a slow flight demo. He obliged, and flew at 33KIAS, ~25 feet altitude along most of the runway (the shorter one), then touched down about 50 feet from the last taxiway, exiting there with a nice short field landing demo. It felt truly bizarre to fly that slowly in a fixed wing aircraft.
