MI-24 Hind

Postby gtirob01 » Mon Apr 12, 2010 8:32 am

A while back I had posted that I thought I saw an MI-24 fly over my work, and had since wondered

Nice shots, but why is it classed as experimental?

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Im just guessing... but maybe because there is no type cert for it in the US?

Pilot told me that this is the only Hind currently flying in the US as well!

*drool*  :o ;D

Also, it's not the only Hind flying in the US.

The Cold War Air Museum in Texas has one flyable, and one that soon will be.

In addition, Vertol Systems in Oregon has a few flyable ones.

Still, that must have been an amazing sight to see!  ;)

Wonderful photographs! The Mi-24 is a particular favourite of mine. I was reading a little while ago (probably 8 months ago) that three Ukrainian Mi-24's (with a possible addition of two other Mi-24's) were up for sale at around 1.9 million USD. A little bit out of my price range I'm affraid...but I can imagine it raised many heads.

Not sure what I expected, but that panel looks nice and clean.
