Arrived to Hungary on the Kharkiv–Kiev–Budapest route as HA-LBE April 4 1969, after the successful delivery test flights in the Soviet Union. This was the fourth MALÉV Tu-134. The only thing may worth mentioning during her long and problem-free service life is that this was the only MA Tu-134 in the fleet, of which ILS localizer frequencies were regularly disturbed by the Italian radio stations' signals, this is why she received an additional – so called: selective – pair of antennas, mounted on both side of the nose, eliminating the interference this way. Last passenger service December 18 1987 on the Budapest–Warsaw–Budapest flight. Upon landing there was one more last, 1 hour and 20 minute farewell flight. The crew were: CPT Jeno Durucz, FO Laszlo Molnar, NAV Janos Magyar, PURS Ida Kiraly Szathmary, Cabin Crew: Eva Molnar and Mariann Gergely. This picture is dedicated to them.
