53 years ago, made its first flight of the domestic airliner Il-62.

3 January 1963, the first flight of a domestic long-haul passenger aircraft took place, capable of carrying out extended flights between remote cities without making additional intermediate landings. In particular, the Il-62 could carry out a flight from Moscow to Havana or to the Far East as quickly as possible, which indicates the greatness of the thoughts of Soviet aircraft designers who developed this aircraft capable of flying up to 10 thousands of kilometers.

Over the entire production period, 276 airliners of this model were built - the last aircraft was released from an aircraft building plant in 2004, however, today only two dozen Il-62 airliners are known to exist.
