Interesting movie, interesting choice in music, could be used in a eastern european porn flick as well :ok:

The pilots obviously used the Star Trek principle of not having shoulder harnesses, or any harnesses at all!
As for eastern European porn flicks: with those 'taches, maybe there were in the porn flicks!:ok:

I quite enjoyed the video and it refreshed many a memory of my time in Far Eastern Russia.

I managed 40 minutes in a Mi6 (minus the wings) - simply amazingly huge beast. Built like a brick sh**-house and fully de-iced courtesy of an industrial size APU and generator in the cabin. Now they seem to lie like forgotten dinosaurs around every airfield in Russia, slowly rotting alongside Mi2s and Mi10s

The machine without the wings is exactly the Mi-6. The wings were added on the upgraded Mi-6A version to reduce the load on the main rotor.Arrakis

Great video! Thanks for posting. Always had an affinity for the Russian stuff. Would love to someday get the chance to fly some of it. My hat's off to these blokes.
