Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).
Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.
Coming back from Madrid we landed at Charleroi and saw the Skytech Mi-26's on trucks. Wanting to get back home as fast as possible after a long weekend away we had to wait for the 2 helo's to be moved by road. Here are they just after passing the first roundabout:
Below a message I received about the MI 26T at Charleroi..
In fact there are 3 x MI 26T in Belgium :
- 2 in EBCI (Charleroi) registered RA06032 & RA06041
- 1 in EBLG (Liege) registered RA06021
All are scheduled to the manufacturer Rostvertol to be overhauled and
upgraded to T2S standard in order to be ready for the next fire fighting
season 09.
I can't imagine them to be transported by road this way all the way to Russia. I think they are to high to fit under bridges. Maybe the will be loaded on a ship ?
Does anyone have more information about this transport ?
