Angel Mi-24 / Mi-26 and Mi-8
One of my personal "bests" .. just a shame I took this pic in 1999 on a low quallity setting on a 640 x 480 cam they do not even make these days.

But here we go .. bit of history in Sierra Leone. As the war was coming to a close the UN came in .. so my ship, the Mi-26 and then a Mi-8 in a HIGH Hover ... I personally do not fly a high approach landing at all (SA Airforce doctrine) but it has saved my a55 on many occasions.

The UN these days do a much lower quicker approach and the Civillian Russians are using "our" technique.

Cheers Gunsss
