I second rh200 : ) I'd have the cavalon autogyro and the EMERCOM KA-32 thankyou with accessories

Regarding the MI-28 Interesting enough about 10 years ago, there was this retired CWO who was an army grad of the MAWTS-1, a Vietnam vet and before his retirement managed to convert on the AH-64. had a website on helicopter air to air combat and photos from him in AH-1S fighting AH-64 over the desert ranges and Kamov-50 AND Mil-28. I was thinking eh? I know the US Army OPTEC/OTSA had a few Mil-24 and Mi-8 and a Kamov -32 operating out of JRTC and Biggs AAF but the latest Soviet hardware.

I emailed him to ask him how did the Havoc and Werewolf end up stateside and he said it all ahppened in the early 90s whereby in the aftermath of the break up of the Soviet Union and strapped for cash, they went everywhere trying to flog their latest hardware and even tried to demo the pair as evaluation models to the DoD!
