Founded in 1991 as successor of the Tjumen directorate’s Aeroflot, the airline operates – next to numerous helicopters and small airplanes – still a grand fleet of airplanes of the Soviet era including the original of this model novelty with the registration RA-65614. It was commissioned by Aeroflot in 1974, still with the typical glass nose which, after a conversion to –A3 standard, was replaced by modern radar.
