Above was only seen while visiting the museum. Even the Mi-9 could be photographed on the ramp from the museum!

Request: the rotorless camo Mi-17 standing stored on the field behind the storage depot. I thought I read 0848, or is it the 0840 that used to be stored here, but should have been gone!
New info: the stored Mi-17 can only be 0848 or 0849, as 0840 left indeed to South Afrika and is since jan 2013 bought by Venezuela.
