Mi-24 Special

This is probably my first venture into this section and I've browsed back a few pages. I saw no recent post of this special Mi-24 helicopter,
presently flying in Afghanistan:

Yep, I have a Nemeth's Mi-24 Hind with that livery for FS2004. Keep your eyes open in either the payware or edited sections for shots of it soon!
:)

Edit:

It's an amazing livery for an amazing helicopter, check out the payware shots section!

Actually that paint job is no longer flying, she has a new look now. It is a Hungarian AF kite. The HAF have no presence in Afghanistan ;)

I'll refrain from asking where they do have a presence? :)
What is the actual Hungarian for their Air Force? HAF was also the English initials for my storyline air force -- but the H didn't stand for Hungary.
:P

The Hungarian army have a small presence in Afghanistan and Iraq doing aid work of some sort. Not much in the way of action since ohhhhh 1956 ;D
I've got some pictures of that kite in her new paintjob somewhere, I'll have a look for them ;)

Pretty nice new livery. Looks like they even painted the rotor blades this time.  :)
