Ilyushin Il-18F, was registered as VN-B196 with Hang Khong Vietnam, the Vietnamese state carrier and predecessor to Vietnam Airlines, though the manufacturer serial number for this specific airframe is not confirmed in available public records. VN-B196 supported domestic Vietnamese cargo operations during and after the Vietnam War era, reflecting the country's close alignment with the Soviet Union and extensive reliance on Soviet aircraft types during this formative period for Vietnamese aviation. The Il-18F freighter variant's cargo capacity proved valuable for a country rebuilding its infrastructure after decades of war, supporting the movement of goods and supplies across a nation whose road and rail networks had been extensively damaged during the preceding conflict with the United States.
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.
