Description:
The first Soviet intercontinental jet passenger aircraft was the IL-62, developed in the design bureau named after S.V. Ilyushin. The prototype took off on January 2, 1963. Serial production began in 1966. Since 1973, a modernized IL-62M aircraft with new engines and a maximum range of more than 11,000 km was commissioned. By 2004, 190 aircraft were produced.
IL-62M was used by the Ukrainian airline from 1994 to 2004. During the years of operation in the state airline, this aircraft served the first three presidents of Ukraine. All official foreign visits, as well as most domestic flights within Ukraine, were carried out on board this IL-62M by presidents Kravchuk, Kuchma and Yushchenko.
This aircraft is of great historical importance, as it represented Ukraine in numerous international visits of high-ranking officials, acting as a symbol of Ukraine along with the flag, anthem and emblem.
