Snuol

SASless

What a book we all could write on '71 Snuol, etc. Mil 4? Right under us one night @5nm north of Snuol just east of highway 13 - really large, slow moving rotor, multiple flat plate windscreens, darkish flat brown-green, long cylindrical tailboom, high set tail rotor, lights on only when very close, lights off on the other side. Big surprise. Obviously we reported it and got told it must have seen an OV-1 Mohawk. Having never seen a Soviet design helicopter I'm sure I got the description wrong!? OK, whatever. Discovered via internet AA Bell 205 shot one or two down via door gunner; then realized I might not have been mistaken.
