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 Trans Asian UN-86502 1998, withdrawn Almaty 1999, last noted 2001.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.
