On port side with the additional original Aeroflot registration carried by this airframe from 1959 till 1963.

One of the main attractions in the Zruc Airpark is the Tupolev 104. But as with all larger aircraft a nightmare to photograph. Here an attempt from the nose using a 12mm lens.

This beautiful Tu-104 is the star exhibit (for me) at the wonderfully eclectic Zruč Air Park. The starboard side carries the familiar early red CSA livery, whereas the port side wears the early blue scheme along with this frame's original Aeroflot registration. The plane flew for Aeroflot from February 1959 until December 1962 then with CSA from May 1963 until September 1976. It then became a restaurant near Olomouc in the 1980s but was moved to Zruč Air Park during September 2012.

This beautifully refurbished 104 is the star exhibit at the wonderfully eclectic Zruč Air Park. The starboard side carries the familiar early red CSA livery, whereasthe port side wears the early blue scheme along with this frame's original Aeroflot registration.
