This is what Ilyushin IL-14 FLA-01146 looked like a few years after it was withdrawn from use by the Russian Air Force in 1992. The dark green camouflage colours gave way to this rather handsome Rossiya State Transport governmental colour scheme, and the Air Force's board number "21 red" became FLA-01146. This photo was taken in June 1995, at Myachkovo airfield near Moscow. This was the aircraft's home base from 1992 until early 1996, when it was moved to Zhukovsky, also near Moscow. The photo was taken by "Yakfreak". |
