The other day we had the privilege of being stuck at another small base awhile. We took the opportunity to enjoy ourselves as much as possible. This was a Russian MI-8 (Maybe MI-17... not sure) we decided to take a look at.
Not sure when this thing was made, but it was ancient! The newest piece of gear was a Garmin 296 GPS mounted in the middle. I think the seat cushions were the originals!
It was extremely spacious in the cockpit... really easy to get in and out of the seats. Sure would be nice to have all that space instead of playing origami with my body every time I fly.
Our Crew... sunburns in progress.
