This Il-18 was delivered to CSA in June 1967 and flew with the airline until retirement in November 1984 and had amassed a total time of 23,578 hours and 20,829 cycles. It is now preserved as a small cafe in a lay-by near Bakov nad Jizerou wearing this 'Air Kofola' scheme. Kofola is a Czech cola/root-beer soft drink available everywhere in the country, so presumable the company paid for the repaint as a form of free advertising to all the cars passing by.
