Newer heard of the company before.
I checked their website and they claim to be able to arrange a ride in the Mi-26. I most definetly interested in that, I have already flown the Mi-17 Kazan and really loved it.
The Russian helicopters are really very sturdy aircraft and absolutely not unsafe, but of course they need maintenance like all other helicopters and the lack of proper care may be why they have such bad reputation.
If I could choose then IŽd rather fly a Mi-17 or Mi-26 than the overprized machines that we have to fly here in Europe due to certification regulations.
haha.... We are probably gonna get a hell of a discussion about this..
