You know, this doesn't look like any Hind I ever saw. Looks more like a Sea Stallion mock-up like they used in a Rambo movie...

Hind-A

Very old and beaten up to look at it.

Most people are more familiar with the later Hind-D,E,F and G models with the stepped bubble canopies.

a pre-Afgahnistan Mi-24 with 3 front seats...
one pilot, one navigator,and the gunner up front

No idea why they have the 3views of a D-or-later model on that page

The Mi-24A,B and G look like this one, the difference is some window panels and the size of the nose gun.

The NATO Hind-G reporting name is not the same machine as the Mi-24G...

There are a LOT of American AH-46 pilots who prefer a Mi-24P (Hind-F) above their fancy toy in Afghanistan. The russian machine flies better at the top of it's altitude envelope because of the wings

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

That's what I get for posting so late... It even said it was an "A". Mark, just think, if you started now, maybe you could have it flying in time for Ozzy Jr.!

Alas I'm tied up with the MJ100 project now!
However I'm sure it'd be a great talking point with your neighbours Grin

How do your in-laws feel about these sort of toys? Grin

If you're not too stuck on a Merlin (and if it's not too much of a sacrilege) there's a rebuilt Allison on eBay right now too...

*sigh* You won't find many like this, that's for sure... Undecided

Sure you don't want to try that third mortgage on the house?

I'd like to get the house finished first so I can worry about things like second, third, twenty-fourth mortgages Grin
