Very possible, but what is it? AN interesting question or 2 maybe? I am struggling to make out much detail in the actual picture though, can't even decide whether it has fixed u/c!

I thought it was a Dragon Rapide at first, but it doesn't look like it's got wing-mounted engines. However, the fixed undercarriage seems very visible to me...

Terminus,

 if I ever need a spotter, you will get the job.
It is an AN-2, one of http://www.freunde-der-antonow.de/ these.

There's plenty of AN-2's still flying - Wiki reckons they sell for as little as US$30k, and their rugged nature and short field performance makes them very useful in exactly the same places as the old Beavers and hte like used to be used in....only those are even older now!!  Seem's it holds a few records - largest biplane still flying, longest production run of any aircraft ever (45 years in USSR, Poland and China - over 20,000 built), largest single engined aeroplane ever, and you don't need parachutes because if the engine fails it wll fall at about the same speed as a parachute!!
