One of two ex Bulgarian machines which were then delivered to Afghanistan.

In company with Mi 24 registered 111.

Very strange visitor for Opa-locka.

An Afghan Hip with a protection cover, but still interesting to see this old Mi-8 of the Afghan National Army - Air Corps. The helicopter was assigned to the 337 Regiment in the old structure of the air force. Unfortunately, the construction number was not found on this Mil Mi-8 so its history will most probably remain in silence as the helicopter was most probably scrapped late 2011.

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.
