Delivered to Aeroflot's Lithuanian department as CCCP-65091in January 1978. After the fall of the Soviet Union it went to Lithuanian Airlines as LY-ABG Tin september 1991. Although purchased by Orient Avia and with RA-65091 reserved, it was probably never delivered.Orient Avia filed for bankruptcy in July 1997. The Tu-134 became ELK Airways' flying billboard in August 1997 as ES-LTA. Stored at Tallinn-Ülemiste from 2001, it was moved to the Eesti Lennundusmuuseum outside Tartu in July 2006.
