Hevilift Mil8
Definitely Mil-8 (Mi17-1 - sem-sem helikopta). Hevilift operate two of them, and at the moment I think they are both operating on the PK register based in Timika (Freeport).
I know they have been trying to get them on the P2 register (were being operated on a Foreign AOC in PNG), but PNG CAA have been stuffing them around.

I think you will find the particular aircraft do not comply with PNG (or ICAO) Airworthiness criterior.
There is a well know and oft reported corrupt background to attempts to get these aircraft onto the PNG Register.
The National and Post Courier newspaper websites have the stories if you are prepared to look.
