An old Mi-8MTV of the Afghan National Army - Air Corps 337th Regiment seen at the platform of homebase Kabul. The Hip shows a sticker of Afghanistan on the nose section. This sticker was remarkably placed on the Mi-8 as it participated in a humanitarian assistance mission over neighbouring country Pakistan. The Kashmir earthquake (7.6M) occurred at on 8 October 2005 in Pakistan Kashmir, Pakhtunkhwa and Jammu provinces. The Afghan government, in deep trouble itself in the fight against the Taliban, managed to send some Mi-8s to the ravaged areas for food/water transports.
