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.

The OH-58D(I) Kiowa Warrior is equipped with the most distinctive feature of the Kiowa family, the Mast Mounted Sight (MMS). This MMS is a kind of beach ball perched on top of the rotor blades that is equipped with a gyro-stabilized television system (TVS), a thermal imaging system (TIS), and a laser range finder/designator (LRF/D). This five-four-one was built by Bell as a OH-58A with serial 70-15102, was then converted to OH-58D with serial 83-24138. After its Afghanistan deployment it was preserved at Fort Campbell (KY) by May 2022.

This Chinook was delivered to the USArmy as CH-47A with serial 66-00101 and accepted on 9 Sep'66. It was converted to CH-47D with serial 85-24348 and redelivered on 27 May'86. The helicopter then served A/2-159th AVN from Apr'94 to Oct'97 and was transferred to C/159th AVN on 16 Oct'97 up to Jun'03. From 2006, the CH-47D appeared in Afghanistan where it was sadly lost in an accident on 1 Jul'10. It was reported that the accident was not related to enemy fire, no further details known. Strikingly, I pictured 348 some two years earlier at near exact the same spot! See my other photo here

This Lynx flew first on 9 Jul'79, it was retained by Westland for flight trials. The Lynx was delivered as an AH1 to the Army Air Corps on 22 Feb'84. It was later converted to AH7. Served the AAC up to 1 Dec'11. On that day, the Lynx suffered an in flight fire due to a hydraulic leak. The pilot performed an emergency landing in a field near Tatenhausen (Germany), about 16 km from RAF Gütersloh. The crew abandoned the helo which was consumed by fire before the local fire brigade arrived. Great to have a click here at AirHistory of the helicopter while parked at the platform of Kandahar.

Former Soviet AF An-12BP with serial CCCP-11995 was registered as such on 11 Jul'75. The CUB became RA-11995 with the Russian AF on 25 Aug'97. It was offered for sale in Nov'03, but it was only reported for the first time as EK-11007 in 4 July'07 with Phoenix Avia. That registration was cancelled on 1 Jan'09. It was reregistered to 3X-GEQ with GR Avia on 18 Jun'08, but possibly owned by Guinair International. In Aug'08, that registration was cancelled, then offered for sale with 9,325 logged flight hours. It was stored at Conakry (Guinea), but in 2014 only parts were left, so scrapped.

ex Boeing test registration N20075, delivered as a Chinook HC2A to the RAF on 18 Dec'97. ZH891 had the honour to be the last operational HC2 and made a flight as such on 18 February 2015. It was then converted to HC4 by Vector Aerospace Ltd at Fleetlands. In 2017 it was again modified, this time to HC6A by Boeing at Boscombe Down. The Chinook was stricken from RAF service by June 2022 and since stored at homebase Odiham.

Former Soviet AF An-12BP with serial CCCP-11995 was registered as such on 11 Jul'75. The CUB became RA-11995 with the Russian AF on 25 Aug'97. It was offered for sale in Nov'03, but it was only reported for the first time as EK-11007 in 4 July'07 with Phoenix Avia. That registration was cancelled on 1 Jan'09. It was reregistered to 3X-GEQ with GR Avia on 18 Jun'08, but possibly owned by Guinair International. In Aug'08, that registration was cancelled, then offered for sale with 9,325 logged flight hours. It was stored at Conakry (Guinea), but in 2014 only parts were left, so scrapped.
