They had a small description on the actual flying Hind helicopter they have at Nellis AFB. They also went on to say that it has successfully engaged F-15 and F-16's during the time it has been there.
I saw an excerpt of the Hind killing an Eagle; I felt violated.

Goes to show that <b>anything</b> can happen in war.

We have a bunch of Hinds in Georgia too(pretty sure it's Georgia), where they train the stinger teams.

Where'd they get them? ODS, black market, etc..

I think they bought em off one of the East block states when the wall came down. Not positive where they got em, but they got em.

2 of them flew through here in the mid 80s is about all I can say

Really, mid 80's? That was the height of the cold war.
Did you get to see them? Viewing that at that time in history would've been a sobering site

I used to actually love the Hind; it used to be one of my favorite air designs, but that was years and years ago.

We had em in NTC in the mid 80's.

I was talking about the ones in Georgia. Those we got in the early 90's i think.

I think we got a few Hinds from Iraq after the first Gulf War. Of course we didn't pay for them.

yup saw them , well the back end of them anyway. They were at tree top level and headed over to the fort
