nobrusk:
where would you want to operate an Mi-2? Have you looked at the Flight manual or flown in one?
I can honestly say that it's one of the few helicopters I would not have many kind words for. My one 15 minute flight in it was 10 minutes too long. No tail rotor authority, Russian engine version has little or no performance outside of a cool day, field of view from the cockpit is almost non-existant, etc....
