Hinds, Hip and Hypothermia

Post by Bartek »

Few Mi-24s and one Mi-17 have been deployed to Bielsko Biala airfield to practice some mountain flying. Despite frosty weather(-15 degrees C) I decided to go there and spend nice time watching them flying (always a pleasure to cooperate with Army!). Here is my photo report - hope you like it:

Hi Bartek,
Very impressive set of images, with very extreme conditions.
I like especially the shot number 15 for me is POTW.
I hope to see by myself a Mi-24 some day...

Lovely set! Number 6 for me just because it's such an amazing looking helicopter when it has it's gear tucked away.
