Drinking the TIgris: Red Bandana

These are some amazing photos of a Mi-24 HIND my buddy James took out at one of the outposts. A Polish crew is running this thing. I'm pretty sure this is the same helicopter Rambo took out with a sling shot and a red bandana. From James:

"Max speed is over 200 mph, which is pretty phenomenal. The pilot is really
crammed in there -- he can really only get out by opening his canopy,
although there's a kind of crawl space behind him which he could use if
he were a twelve-year-old child. The co-pilot is really just trapped
down on the nose by himself in his bubble. The crew says they are being
sent to Afghanistan, possibly."
