Cool report and photos, I also visited your homepage. Interistingly you mentioned that Mi.24V '142' first flew after rework in Sofia on 18.11.2015. Landing in Sofia that day I saw a Hind near the hangars in Sofia, serial fully covered, but paint looking fresh, like Mi.17 '417' in your photos. Next afternoon it was still there, again refeused being identified, serial covered. Unless they have more than 1 Hind in this stage of rework you may have solved a problem for me ;o)
Best regards

Thanks!
As far as I know, only one Mi-24 was seen outside the TEREM facility at Sofia-Vrazhdebna so far.
And that was indeed the "142".
A total of four Mi-24V's should be overhauled. Don't know the other serials.
Bulgaria had only six Mi-24V's, 140, 141, 144 and 146 were noted in April at Krumovo. And the whereabouts of 143 are unknown.
So don't know which will be the other three.
Best regards Rob
