Ilyushin Il-28R (NH-4)

The Il-28R is a reconnaissance variant of the Soviet three-seat light Il-28 bomber. The most obvious difference between the two versions is the wing tip fuel tanks of the reconnaissance aircraft. The crew consisted of a pilot, an observer and a rear gunner.

The Finnish Air Force bought two Il-28s from the Soviet Union in 1959. The first aircraft, a bomber variant, arrived in January 1960 flown by a Russian crew that remained in Finland for six months to train Finnish airmen on the type. The next aircraft, an Il-28R, arrived on 24th June 1961. The Il-28 was well suited for Air Force purposes, and two more reconnaissance versions were acquired in 1965. All four Finnish aircraft were of 1955-vintage and they had been refurbished in the Soviet Union before delivery.

The Il-28 was affectionately known as “Nikita” in Finnish service. The type was operated in aerial photography, maritime surveillance and radioactive sampling roles.

The Il-28 was reliable and it had good flight characteristics, although the unboosted controls were heavy. The last flight of the type took place in June 1981.

Finnish Air Force Museum

Our main exhibition presents Finnish military aviation history from the 1910s to the present day. We are a cooperative museum of the Military Museum. The objects in the permanent exhibition consist mainly of aircraft, engines and air equipment used by the Finnish Air Force. Temporary exhibition are located in different sides of the exhibition hall.
We preserve and restore aircraft used by the Finnish Air Force, preserving as many original parts and paintings as possible.

Suomen Ilmavoimamuseo

Esittelemme suomalaista sotilasilmailuhistoriaa 1910-luvulta nykypäivään saakka. Olemme Sotamuseon yhteistyömuseo. Perusnäyttelyn esineistö koostuu pääasiassa Suomen ilmavoimien käytössä olleista lentokoneista, moottoreista ja lentovarusteista. Eri puolelle näyttelyhallia on sijoitettu myös vaihtuvia näyttelyosia.
Konservoimme ja restauroimme ilmavoimien käyttämiä lentokoneita ja muuta esineistöä. Konservoinnin lähtökohtana on säilyttää esineet mahdollisimman autenttisena ja alkuperäisyyttä kunnioittaen.
