MI-8 Hip


I've shown pictures of a Hip before but I have never got to look one over until now. The russians are totally about function, this aircraft is built tough with no frills at all.
An American Company operates this one with civilians doing work that I didn't want to ask about. Needless to say they had some heavy machine guns on it. No back doors either.
I wasn't too suprised to see U.S. made radios and navigation equipment in it, stuff I have worked with in many civilian helicopters in the states.
