YR-IRA ¦ ZRH 21.07.1979

            Ilyushin IL-62 (c/n 21302)
Tarom (Transporturile Aeriene Române)
Zürich-Kloten (ZRH/LSZH)
21 July 1979

YR-IRA was Tarom's first IL-62 aircraft, delivered new from the manufacturer in April 1973 out of an order for three of the type. Normally used on long range services, it was seen arriving on runway 14 on a late evening scheduled flight from Bucharest, replacing a smaller BAC-111.

In addition to the three new aircraft, two IL-62s were acquired second hand, but sometime in the eighties all were withdrawn from use and stored at Bucharest-Otopeni. YR-IRA's CofA expired in 1991, the marks were cancelled in 1996 and the airframe broken-up at Otopeni during 1998/1999.

Interestingly Tarom also operated five Boeing 707s at the same time as the IL-62s.
