OK-VAF ¦ ZRH 24.03.1985

            Ilyushin IL-18D (c/n 186009004)
CSA Ceskoslovenské Aerolinie
Zürich-Kloten (ZRH/LSZH)
24 March 1985

A total of 18 Ilyushin 18s were operated by CSA Ceskoslovenké Aeroline between 1960 and 1990. Included was OK-VAF, which was captured on finals to runway 14 on a charter service from Prague.

OK-VAF was built for the Czechoslovak Government in 1966, and transferred to state carrier CSA in 1977. It was retired in early 1990 and flown to Nürnberg for fire training exercises, whwere it was eventually destroyed during firefighters practice.

Behind closed doors, rumour had it that the IL-18 was only aircraft among all the Soviet types with which money could be earned, as all others were way too expensive to operate, and which would support the fact that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, all the Eastern European carriers, including Aeroflot, quickly re-equipped with Western aircraft.
