This Il-18 was built in December 1962 as an Il-18V but converted to a freighter in 1979. It was retired and made its last flight to Szolnok (LHSN) in April 1987 for display at the Szolnokmuseum. Fortunately or unfortunately, the museum has relocated to a new purposely developed site that does not have space for any of the larger exhibits, particularly non- HuAF ones, and so this beautiful old aircraft has been left behind.
