 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

An interesting development! Didn't know the SAR-situation in Hungary had become this bad, though...Levente wrote:An An-124 arrived 3 days ago to Kecskemét AFB, with special delivery to the HUAF.
Inside the plane had 3 ex-Russian civilian, recently overhauled Mi-8T arrived.
The reason for this, since the HUAF can hardly do SAR duties because of the limited number helis in Hungary, not to mention all the other duties, so the Government decided to buy 3 from civilian companies, till a new type of heli will be bought.
The whole thing was a "secret" but including myself a few other people were at the fences knowing what the payload is:
Nice photoreport!Sadly it is true. You can hardly saw more than "3 serial numbers" in the air this year, probably that is the number we have here. Not to mention the Mi-24 phase out in 2013.Stratofreighter wrote:An interesting development!
