A giant leaving Kandahar. It's incredible that these huge and slow moving helicopters could survive in a high threat environment of Afghanistan. This Mi-26T was delivered to Rosvertol in Nov'92 and was transferred to Atruvera on 11 Jul'01. Moved to Vertikal-T in Mar'03, and then served the United Nations in DRC as UN-834 from Nov'05 to Jul'06. Returned to Vertikal-T in Feb'07 and was leased to DynCorp when it flew over Afghanistan up to late 2010. stored at Tver. Sold to Abakan Air on 3 Sep'20. Then became EX-06001 with MAK KG in Mar'23. Returned to Abakan Air in Jun'23. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
