Ilyushin Il-18, was registered as SU-AOY with Egyptair, the Egyptian flag carrier, though the manufacturer serial number for this specific airframe is not confirmed in available public records. SU-AOY supported Egyptair's domestic and regional Middle Eastern turboprop network during the 1960s and 1970s, a period when the carrier balanced aviation relationships with both Western and Soviet aircraft manufacturers amid Cold War-era geopolitics. Egypt's close alignment with the Soviet Union under President Gamal Abdel Nasser during the 1960s brought substantial Soviet military and civilian aid, including aircraft like the Il-18, though Egyptair simultaneously maintained a mixed fleet incorporating Western-built de Havilland Comets and Boeing 707s, reflecting the country's balancing act between Cold War superpower spheres of influence.

Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
