This stunningly beautiful aircraft was part of the static display at ILA 2012. Alas, a more side on shot was 'diminished' by a huge row of portable toilets in the background.......

Operated by the Goldtimer Alapítvány (Goldtimer Foundation) and sponsored by Sunflower. This Soviet-built DC-3 was delivered to the Hungarian Air Force in 1949 as 209, transferred to Malév in 1958 as HA-LIX but returned to the Air Force six years later. Withdrawm from use in early 1974 and ended up in a museum. Acquired by the Goldtimer Alapítvány in Oct 1997 and restored to flying condition, first post-restoration flight 21 Sep 2001. This is the only flying Li-2 in the world.

The last flying Li-2 starred at the Bautzen airshow.

The Lisunov Li-2 was a Russian licence-built DC 3 and this is the world's only remaining airworthy example. It is seen here departing on a pleasure flight.
