Several unmarked Mi-8s flew secretive missions over Afghanistan. The helicopters were parked on an isolated platform. Personnel nearby were often very cagey in their behaviour. But sometimes... the helicopters were parked only the lonely, the moment for a picture taken from a passing car... The small HIP fleet was linked to the Blackwater, an American private military company. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
