INFO :

Skytech is operating since 92 at least three giant Mil MI 26T from Belgium - I applied for a job with them and still hope - saw them paradroping 11.000 skydivers over a few days during space boogie in Vichy France in 94

The boss of Skytech flew in with a N registered B206 BIII and flew a few dropping as captain on the MI 26 and same day he flew back to Belgium (?) - cool

You can see the MI 26T parked in Belgium 2 x MI 26T in EBCI airport and 1 x MI 26T in EBLG airport but mostly used for Fire Fighting in Italy and according to SEI of Canada (the Bambi bucket manufacturer) it's SKYTECH who co-developped the TBB the 20.000 per drop system for the MI 26
