Marmite!! Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 http://www.skpweb.com/2009/08/hungarian-eagle.html You might think this helicopter is American when you first look at it, you would be wrong. This painted masterpiece is actually a Mi-24 Hind helicopter and it belongs to theHungarian Air Force. You might have seen photos of this beautifully painted aircraft on other sites, with descriptions like “this American Eagle helicopter is currently on duty in Afghanistan (or Iraq) raining hell on terrorists”, but the truth is The Eagle was painted by its own crew and it was never intended for combat, i is simply a vehicle presented at air shows. So remember, appearances can be deceiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Thanks chaps, I got one of those emails saying it was being used in Afganistan "by some of our boys overseas", I wasn't sure if it was maybe a CGI creation, it certainly is an awsome paint job.
