The Ilyushin Il-14 (NATO name: Crate) was a Soviet twin-engine commercial and military personnel and cargo transport aircraft. First flown in 1950, more than 1,300 were produced as a replacement for the DC-3/Lisunov Li-2 aircraft in use. This was also one of the first Soviet aircraft to be widely exported (30+ countries). Today only three Il-14 remain airworthy in Russia. This example spent its life in the Polish Air Force (1955-1987) and was flown to the Pacific Coast Air Museum in 1994. Fuji X-E2s w/18-135mm.
