Photo Comment

The former Czech Air Force 1016, the Tu-154 regained its old civil registration again upon preservation in the museum in Kunovice. The aircraft is known in Czechia for bringing the national ice-hockey team back home with this registration after it won the gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics, and is therefore dubbed the "Naganský expres".
