OK-IFG, No. 746, Kunovice Aero Club, Czech Republic, 1994

This Trenér was test-flown on April 24, 1954 and

in July the same year was assigned to the Regional Aero Club Olomouc. He served there from 1955

for training and group aerobatics. At that time, the

Aero Club Olomouc was a hatchery of aerobatic

pilots and several aerobatic groups were active

there. One of them was an all-girls group, where

Eva Krenčová flew OK-IFG since 1957. By that time

the original green paint was replaced by cream

color with a red nose. In the following years the

OK-IFG was serving with various Aero Clubs of

North Moravia region until 1963. It was stored than

for ten years. At the end of 1973, it underwent a

third overhaul at the Aerotechnik company in Kunovice and was put back into service. From 1981,

it served with the Aero Club Kunovice and after

another overhaul in 1988 the Tréner No. 746 received a retro military green-blue paintjob. Later ye-

llow stripes were added to the wing and fuselage

to mimic the military training aircraft even more.

In 1995, OK-IFG was used for the filming of the TV

series "The Land Gone Wild" and it received a temporary paint job of green color on the bottom surfaces as requested by the filmmakers. On October

11, Albert Orlita made the last flight of this Trenér

and the aircraft was handed over to the Kunovice

Aviation Museum, where it is on display today.
