THE SIGHT & THE SOUND 6/10 : IL-14 147001640 Air to Air with AN-2 and spectacular go around
This video series shows the happy faces of 28 invited aviation enthusiasts from all over the world on their very first flight experience onboard Ilyushin 14 in 2016. This flight is the sixth of total 10 flights onboard IL-14 involving thrilling air-to-air manouvers and other stunts never believed possible. This flight involved a spectacular low pass and go-around before meeting in the sky with AN-2T RA-07853. Spending a whole weekend claiming the complete Orlovka airfield, many of us experienced their most awesome experience in lifetime. The weather changed from torrential rain showers to bright sunshine within minutes, offering unlimited challenge for the demanding photographer and videographer. This whole weekend will remain in our memories forever.
We thank our most enthusiastic and most hospitable hosts, all friends and family members from Albatros Aero - the ultimate - IL-14 restoratuon Team - with Papa Andrey and Baby Mansur.
Brief history of IL-14T Penguin, serial number 147001640
147001640 was manufactured 1957 in Moscow at MMZ Znamya Truda. She has been delivered to the Soviet Air Force and received number “23”. 147001640 never carried a civil registration throughout her three lives. In 1974 this airframe was modified to operate as a flying laboratory for the Navy, where she served until 1984. She was retired 1987.
Her second life began, when Oleg Lyakishev, Igor Volk and Georgy Nikolaev started a restoration project in 1993 registering her 01114 ФЛА РФ (FLA RF). By 1995, airframe 147001640 was back in the air again flying in the St. Petersburg region. 147001640 was repainted in 2004 with the characteristic red Polar livery and nicknamed “Penguin”. The registration CCCP-91612 painted on the fuselage has been used in the Movie Request Take-Off and is fake. Registration RA-1114K was an unsuccessful attempt to legalize the previous FLA registration after changes in legislation took place. 147001640 was never registered properly under the Russian Civil Registry and was stored for seven years at Myachkovo airfield without any flying activity facing an uncertain future.
Her third life began, when a team led by Andrey Ivanov and Vladimir Lisnyak concluded an agreement with the owner and started repair works in November 2011, which were completed by the end of summer 2012. Long lasting disputes with the management of Myachkovo airfield forced the owners to remove “Penguin” from Myachkovo and transfer her to Stupino airfield to complete the restoration. “Penguin” is now based at the private Orlovka airfield, in the Tver region. Andrey Ivanov and Vladimir Lisnyak share the ownership of “Penguin” with the previous owner and fully own the 2nd IL-14 in Orlovka with the serial number 147001647, nicknamed “Blue Dream”. In Russia the restoration of Historic Aircraft back to airworthiness is neither encouraged nor supported by the State, nor sponsored by private institutions in a larger scale. Not only sufficient funds, original sources for maintenance and repair, experienced engineers and flight crews but also team work, initiative, perseverance and intuition are necessary to bring these flying machines back into the air again. Together with an enthusiastic “IL-14 Restoration Team” and their supportive families, Andrey and Vladimir are driven by their dream to bring the IL-14 and other milestones of Soviet Aviation History back to life again.

THE SIGHT & THE SOUND 2/2 : IL-14 147001640 documentary from Orlovka to Orlovka
This is most likely one of the very first appearances of an exclusive documentary of the Ilyushin 14 on Youtube, filmed with contemporary camera equipment on the ground and in the air.
Invited to an impressive airshow at the private airfield Orlovka and enjoying an unmatched hospitality by the hosts, I travelled to Moscow mid of August, 2015 to sample one of the very first flights on board the legendary Ilyushin IL-14T in a display flight at the Orlovka airshow, testing the IL-14 up to her limits. Here is the story of this remarkable plane and a remarkable restoration crew who brought her back to life once again, which is most unusual.
