This Il-14 was built in 1957 and flew originally for the Siviet AF as 21 red. Around June 1992 it joined Rossiya as 01146 but was placed into storage at Zhukovsky (ZIA) around May 1996. The plane was repaired for a ferry flight to Switzerland, granted a temporary CofA and made its last ever flight from ZIA to Zürich (ZRH) on 26th June 2005. In total the frame had accummulated a total time of 9,160 hours with 8,279 cycles, and is now preserved inside this very nice restauant on the south west corner of ZRH.
