TAROM - Transporturile Aeriene Române

 

YR-IRC is taxiing to runway 25 for take-off. TAROM and Aeroflot Il-62s were regularly seen at Riem in the late 1970s and 1980s, other operators like LOT were rare. Interflug aircraft visited a few times in 1972 in connection with the Olympic Games and then in the early 1990s.

 

Information from airliners.net - thanks to J. Laporte:

This plane was active with Tarom from 1975 to 1994. After some time in storage, it continued as UN-86503 with Trans Asian Airlines (TAA) and EX-62100 with Quadrotour aero. Broken up in 2005.
