PhreeZone 20 #4 March 22, 2002 Mi-8 right?They used a bunch of these during a world record attempt a few years ago... interesting from the looks of it...I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend... ~3EB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Engovatov 0 #5 March 22, 2002 > Mi-8 right?Think bigger - Mi -26.. It carries 90 troops - or about 120 skydivers I would guess..Mi-24 military (http://www.skydive.ru/photos//Av18.jpg) is also fun..Mi-8 are pretty common in many russian DZs - remnants of military spending I guess.. Jumped them - with a cargo door - beats Otter any day.. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
