    I've never heard of one here in North America.
    Unfortunately in science what you believe is irrelevant.

    About ten years ago, there were a half dozen of them at my home field, just south of Seattle. A guy was importing container loads of them and some helicopters. He got a couple flying, but ran out of money and stopped paying tiedown fees. The city eventually made him clear them out...don't know what happened to them.

    The Ropkey Armor Museum in Crawfordsville, IN had an AN-2 (Polish version) as of last summer. I would venture a guess that's it's still there.

    Probably a couple dozen scattered across the country. Maybe a handful are airworthy and actually fly?

    There's gotta be a ton of them in Poland because that's where the majority of them were built.

    I seem to remember seeing something (maybe on the AOPA forum) about someone in Texas that had several in various states of disrepair

    Mike : Tried the AOPA forum and I think you need a membership (much like here) to be able to access it.
