Real or PSed?

The last post on this page says Spain is supposed to procure it. That’s no proof, though. Not sure. But I’m pretty certain that this pic is a Photoshop job.

It works just remove the first http://

Got it- thanks. I thought I’d tried that, but it ended up that I’d made a mistake when I copied and pasted the link and corrected it. Neat picture. Any details on colors and markings?

The civilian registration HA-…. couldn’t be more obvious.
Besides, Hungary never operated military Gazelles

Well, there’ve been more than a few one-offs over the years, and more than a few of them sporting civilian registrations I am sure. But it is indeed a fact- Hungary has never used Gazelles in its armed forces. Correct me if I am wrong, but I know of no non-Soviet helicopters used by Hungary, at that. But I thought I’d throw the Hungarian example in for our friend Alex, who’s from, you guessed it- Hungary!

This An-12 uses the same colour scheme, maybe this will help you.

Fantastic, Gerard- thank you!

Hi Guys!
I am looking for photos of exotic Gazelles. Mainly the next countries: Burundi, Guinea, Rwanda, Senegal, Trinidad and Tobago.
Thanks in advance!
Alex

Greetings! Here’s one from Guinea for you. It’s b/w, but I’d guess the colors are white, with red, yellow, and green fuselage stripes. Not sure about the color under the fuselage, though. I would love to see examples from the other countries you’ve mentioned, as well!

The right hand flag is the “Wiphala”, the indian flag (native american or whatever you call it). Bolivia is now supossed to be a “multinational country” (one of the many delusional ideas from their president) so you have the Bolivian (white? mestizo?) flag and the Wiphala.

BTW. Bolivian air force have a particular taste for… unusual… camo schemes, for example:

Also, any info on wing markings? Roundels? Flags? Bort numbers? Or no markings at all? Thanks again for all the great info.

Here a better picture of the wiphala and the new oficial name of the country
“estado plurinacional de Bolivia”: Plurinational State of Bolivia.

Thanks for the great info on this! I really, really appreciate it. Wonderful stuff. Actually, if done in the right spirit and for the right reasons, I think it’s a great idea. Far too many “minorities” and indigenous peoples have been trampled over and marginalized in the past by those more powerful, and any earnest attempt to rectify the situation and reconcile things is fine by me. I strongly suspect, however, that there are some hidden agenda and ulterior motives behind the attempt to do so in Bolivia, and everywhere else, for that matter. It’s far too lofty and altruistic a concept to remain untainted by the mess of politics and the raw, basic realities of human nature.
