Aeropark, Aviation museum at Ferenc Liszt International Airport, Hungary
Aeropark is an aviation museum located at Ferenc Liszt International Airport near Budapest, displaying historic aircraft and helicopters. The collection spans about a dozen aircraft and several helicopters representing different eras of flight.
The museum's story started in 1988 when Hungary received a Soviet Ilyushin Il-14T transport aircraft. This gift became the foundation for the aviation collection that exists today.
The Li-2 bears the Malév nickname "Teve" (camel), and the Il-14T is called "MALvinka". The Il-14T was repainted in period Malév livery although Malév never owned this particular airframe. Visitors can watch its two engines being started once a month.
The museum operates seasonally with extended hours during summer, offering guided tours and flight simulator experiences. Visitors can also step inside several aircraft to explore them up close.
The Li-2 HA-LIQ logged 3,829 flight hours and 5,863 cycles. It served the Hungarian Air Force from 1954, joined Malév on 20 March 1957 keeping its green military livery, flew as a freighter from 1958, and returned to the army in 1964 as aircraft 206 until 1974. Its restored interior opens during events.
