That's not the Red Dwarf I know & love, but pretty cool!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Now why haven't I thought before to add the pic of the Halo, it's one of my favourites from Airliners!  A Soviet invasion of USAF base in West Germany!  The Halo is carrying a company of Spetsnaz, escorted by the Hokums in the background.  They're reinforcing the troops you can see troops that are already storming the airfield.

;D ;D ;D

Here's a few I took recently at a military show in Ostrava, Czech Republic:

Mi-24 Hind





Bit of an Mi-17/Mi-171 hybrid; it had the relocated oil cooler of the 171 but retained the clamshell back doors of the 17.



Mi-2 Hoplite


L-39 Albatros


Let L-410 Turbolet


Antonov An-26, slated to be replaced in Czech AF service by the Casa 295 by the end of 2010

I just love the camo scheme the Czech applied to their Hinds, Hips and Curls! :wub:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I love the pic of the Mi 26 in that colour scheme....I think its being escorted as it lands its troops on the Americanski airfield by Alligators KA 52......I've just made one (KA 52) but am having trouble uploading the pics onto the board. Does anyone know what the little fairings are above the flare dispensers on the stub wings......look a bit like the mass balance on Me109/110....??? I looked at a few pics while making mine ,obviously not this one,and have not seen them before.

Actually, it's taken on a Russian airbase. The 707s are the invaders ;D :thumbsup:

Ah, so the Russians are re-taking their airbase from a US invasion! ;D

And you know this how??
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior

If you go into battle knowing you will die, then you will live. If you go into battle hoping to live, then you will die
