Wow, what a (set of ) photograph(s), wish they could be persuaded to visit the UK!
Who knows, but now polish MI 24 will be modernized for all-weather, day&night avionic systems, and I think that next visit will be possible next year.
These machines are from 49-th Combat Helicopter Regiment from Pruszcz Gdanski (near Gdansk).
These four machines have established 49-th HIND DISPLAY TEAM.
8-th machines is still in Iraq, and pilota are rotating in service. That’s very strong for pilots.
These old (about 25-20 years) machines have had fantastic “readiness coefficiant” in Iraqi evironment – about 75% of readiness in 2r h service !
I would like to recommend U video film of 49-th Regiment HINDS which available in BRASILIAN (!!!) aviation forum .
