Remarks: The aircraft caused a furore in the press back in 1987 when the 19 years-old Mathias Rust embarked on a 16-day flight in it from Germany, initially heading to Iceland and Finland. From Finland, on the 28th May 1987, he flew over the USSR border without permission and, though the aircraft was registered by Soviet air force defence, they allowed Rust to fly to Moscow where he touched down in the city centre near Red Square. In the 1988, the plase was sold to Japan where it spend 15 years on open-air exhibition and in 2008 staff at the Deutsche Technikmuseum tracked the Cessna down and brought it to Berlin.
