It looked unthinkable to have some Russian military copters sporting the titles of a NATO-led operation, but it occured!

One of six Mi-8MTs, all slightly different in their camouflage or their equipments, based in Pristina airport alongside one Mi-8P and four Mi-24Ps, with the Russian helicopter detachment in Kosovo.

The "salon", VIP version of the already ageing Mi-8.

The Russians were the surprise guests of the NATO-led KFOR! Here one of their four Mi-24s standing still on a foggy December morning, unfortunately no bort number to help identifying this beast.

From the Wiesbaden-based, 5-158Avn Co, still wears the SFOR titles from a previous deployement in Bosnia.

A330Neo msn 2109 being towed across the airport. No French test registration applied yet, only MSN2109 and the Malaysia tail to identify the airplane so far.

This Cessna 150L (I think) is on display at the Motor- and Technology Museum to the southwest of Warsaw. I cannot find a previous registration, so please get in touch if you can help.

This stripped-down Seneca was in the Fly-Coop hangar during my visit. It would be great if someone could provide a registration.

Following WWI a German businessman acquired several Halberstadt airframes and parts. After much tribulation he started to restore this one for flight in the 1950s but abandoned the project. Sold in the US in 1982 and obtained by the USAF Museum in 1984. In very poor condition by then, it was restored in a joint venture with the Museum fur Verkehr und Technik in Berlin from 1989 to 1991, painted as the CL.IV of Schlachtstaffel 21's leader, known to have engaged elements of the US Army 94th and 95th Aero Squadrons in July 1918. The c/n sometimes quoted, C.4205/18, belongs to a Halberstadt C.V

Converted from a UH-60A to an EH-60A. You can see the aerials on the side. Unfortunately I cannot make out the serial.

Could not identify it. The reg on the tail had been painted over.

ex N69, this ex FAA Dakota was present at the museum with markings removed. Later sold to a dealer in 1985. Later registered as N259DC

Three sad tails and parts of Afghan Air Force An-12s, and a sole Mi-8 tail. All unidentified.

Thailand acquired 24 Ki-55 from Japan in 1942. They were in use until 1950

Reported as both 42-4949 and 42-19027 both of which were recovered by David Tallichet in the early 70s. Under restoration at Planes of Fame Air Museum. The long length of the rear-retracting, non-steering nosewheel can be seen. The gaps in the wing root are for the oil cooler and radiator intakes. The automobile type door frame is visible. This model was fitted with the V-1710-85 engine and a slightly larger Aeroproducts propeller, but it made little difference to the low top speed, rate of climb and poor performance at higher altitudes.

Bit of a mystery, this one, displayed fenced in (including barbed wire!) at a DAV post. The only markings on her are as noted, "UH 1 ADP200847A" applied on the tailboom, using the type of lettering stickers typically used on mailboxes here in the US. Variant is presumed to be UH-1B as listed on AerialVisuals, but not known for certain.
