Hm…why the American flag on the Russian built German MiG-29?
At least it has the Garmin GPS and the Bendix below. It`s kinda standard issue these days.
The blackish colour might come from the smokey engines….but I never saw such black blades until now. What`s the story behind this incident ?
It`s interesting th cockpit of the 5V. It`s black instead of the green and kinda empty.
Republic of Moldova operates one too.
i have always been fond of the hind…a mean looking beast dont you think???… has enyone have eny photos of the early hind, the one with the big [green house] canopy…also is there eny of these early mil-24s still active enywhere.
Check out my post above…I gave a link a green house Hind.
That would be me. I regularly fly the Mi-8/17 😀 This is my beautiful lady 😉
press, i dont think its running. Theres no dust cloud or heat comming from the exhaust and the rotor shadow doesnt look blurry. I guess the photo was taken in movement or low quality.
Saludos.
The rotors are turning, trust me on that. One main blade weighs 120kg…the blades don`t just stand straight when they`re not turning….they bend down…quite a lot. In the photo the main blades are straight.
Mi-8/17s are a part of my daily life so I know how it should look like. Even on the small EC-120/135 the blades bend down when they`re not turning.
The Lybian Mi-8 in the first photo…is it me…or there`s no one inside…and the helicopter is running ? Take a look at the main rotor.
It even has PZUs.
Link not working…but Su-33 takes off without a catapult. The carrier has the inlined ramp.
The first one…looks like a Polish one. The second and 5th Vietnamese. And speaking of Vietnamese

Anyone got more info on this oooolllld bird? I didn`t know there are still flightworthy A models.
Nice pictures…but smaaaallll
Well, they have lost Yak-130 to Al-555(?) and Aermacchi M-346 to Garrett F124, maybe they really get this one..
I think they built a MiG-29 out of those planes 😀
Pfft…all those are nothing…compared to this:

SSS, aren`t you a ray of sunshine ?
One thing that is important in discovering new things is to keep an open mind!
