Ilyushin Il-18F, was registered as HA-MOI with MALEV Cargo, the freight division of the Hungarian flag carrier, though the manufacturer serial number for this specific airframe is not confirmed in available public records. HA-MOI supported MALEV's Soviet-designed turboprop freighter operations during the Cold War era, connecting Hungary to destinations across the Soviet sphere and beyond, before the airline's post-1989 fleet modernization with Western-built aircraft. MALEV, Hungary's flag carrier from 1946 until its 2012 bankruptcy and closure, relied heavily on Soviet aircraft types throughout the Communist era as part of Hungary's close alignment with Moscow, a dependency that only began to ease as the country transitioned toward Western aircraft manufacturers following the fall of the Iron Curtain.
Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
Designed as a twin-engined turboprop transport, the Il-18 was first flown on July 4th, 1957. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
