K25 slide scan. Built 1973 as YR-IRB for Tarom, CofA expired 1993. Trans Asian UN-86502 1998, withdrawn Almaty 1999, last noted 2001. After several years of storage at Otopeni the aircraft gained a new albeit short lease of life in Kazakhstan. Pulling away from its northern apron parking. Il-62's had a rather unique aerodynamic feature as the wing leading edges had no slats but two different fixed profiles, the joint being seen clearly about halfway down the wing.

Originally Tarom's YR-IRB registered in 4.73. Bought by TAA in 1998 but in store by the time of this photo and can be seen from wreckage on Google Earth to have been destroyed by fire (apparently exploded during scrapping, some time prior to 2007)
