Wonderful shot of this nearly 50-year old but still very faithful Ilyushin IL-14 EX-1146K (msn 7343408), caught in mid-air from Yak-52 chase plane LY-RED. The aircraft is over Lake Constance, and it's nearing the end of its last flight ever. Apart from a slight oil leak in engine #2 and some problems with low-quality fuel, the flight was uneventful.
