Forum rules
ImageThis 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.

I wittnessed this happening on a mi-171 of UTAir some days ago. Three times start-up, three times it spit fire like this. So pretty common I guess..
Unfortunately my timing was bad so no pictures..

The engine start during the Mi-17 happens in the beginning like this. Only a few seconds so you have to be very prepared.
Tough not a big fire like this should hapen, I was told that if the heli is tilted a bit - because of the ground, for example landed on grass or a field - a big fire can hapen.
