In service from January 1958 till October 1986. Made a last ferry flight December 22nd 1987 from Hradec Králové to her final destination Uherské Hradištĕ - Kunovice.

This plane was built as an Avia-14M and operated by the MNO (Ministry of National Defence) from July 1958. From April 1961, it then flew with CSA as OK-MCB but returned to the Air Force and was converted to -14FG around 1967/1968. It made its last flight in April 1994 from Pardubice to Kbely and then stored base side on the grass. It has now been moved into the Letecké Muzeum Kbely for display and beautifully restored.

This aerial survey version of the Crate now carries some nice nose art and is just one of many super exhibits to be seen at the Zruč Air Park

I was visiting the Kbely museum and was able to look underneath a fence. Two Il-14's, Il-18 and a Yak-40, it was worth it! Delivered to the air force in 1958, flew with CSA as OK-MCB in 1960. Returned to the air force and converted to Avia 14FG, the photographic survey variant. Made its last flight on 9 April 1994 into Kbely. The Il-18 in the background was stored here after it was hit by a Tu-134 (OK-CFD) in 1977.
