Let's bump the thread.

Hi Alpha.

A maintenance platform that folds back over the jet engine? High off the ground?

[Kitbag]

Helicopter?
Bell UH1?

Hi noyade,

A maintenance panel, yes. And it's high indeed.

@ Kitbag

A rotary wing it is, but not a Huey.

OK, I may have been a little too mean tilting the picture.
It is now back to "properly oriented" (4 posts above - if needed [CTRL]+[F5]).

[Noyade]

Ahhh....I see now!

Cause I just couldn't figure out why the engine stuck out like that and the 'fuselage' just seemed to vanish....



Cheers!

Super Frelon ?

[AlphaZuluRomeo]

Noyade: sort of, but wrong way.

evans: nope.

[Noyade]

Yeah mate, that was my "pre-turn" perspective.

Puma?

[AlphaZuluRomeo]

Not a Puma either.

In fact, not a French aircraft, even if the picture was taken in France.

Mi-38 possibly?

[AlphaZuluRomeo]

Closer, but not a 38

[Ridge Runner]

Mi-38 possibly?

[AlphaZuluRomeo]

Uh?

[Zaxis]

Possibly Mi 18?

[AlphaZuluRomeo]

Closer again, but still not it.
Use KISS principle.

[Zaxis]

Mi8 then ?

[AlphaZuluRomeo]

Almost

It's a Polish Mi-17, the upgraded export version of the Hip (aka Mi-8MT in Russia, so your "Mi-8" is pretty much OK for an answer).

Here is the full picture (and other of the same aircraft).
