The airplane was taken over by the Hungarian Aircraft Service on 19 December 1967. It served Hungarian agricultural flying for nearly 26 years. After the plane was cast off, it was moved to the Memorial Park to be shown.

Circa 18.000 pieces of this type of airplanes were manufactured, several of them are still in operation across the world.

The IL-14 with the side number served the Russian Air Forces from 1957. From 1970 it served the PCs 226 Transport Company of the South Army Group. The last time it took off from the base airport in Kosice on 08 December 1897 and landed in Ferihegy, while the original military decoration was still on the plane. The airplane flied 5928 hours.

The airplane received as a present spent a lot of time aside until it was finally towed over to the Ferihegy Airplane Memorial Park in 1994. In consequence of a law banning emblems of despotism the red star had to be eliminated from the side, but the original paint is still on the bottom of the plane. Approximately 900 were manufactured of this type of airplane.

The Hungarian People’s Army acquired the plane with the number 206 on 27 March 1952. On 20 March 1957 the plane was passed on to Malév, however, with the military painting intact. The plane flew as a freighter aircraft with Malév.

The ashes of the first president of the Republic of Hungary, Mihály Károlyi, were transported back to Hungary with this particular aircraft in 1963. On 20 May 1964 Malév returned the plane to the army, and the civilian aircraft registration was removed from it. Until then, the plane landed 5863 times and spent 3829 hours in air.

In 1974 the plane was cast off and the Museum of Transportation took it over. The plane was renovated in 1980, and then it was moved to Farkas Hill to the filming of the movie ’Vádindítvány’. From there, it was replaced to the Ferihegy Airport Memorial Park on 13 July 1993 where the plane has been on display ever since. 5306 of this type of aircraft, including military and civilian versions, were manufactured.
