Check out what some of our soldiers overseas did to their helicopter.
Some Afghan is probably freaking out right about now. :bows:
This very special Mi-24 helicopter is presently flying in Afghanistan,
where it is no doubt causing quite a stir.

God Bless the U.S.A.

Can you imagine the Taliban looking up and seeing a dozen copters painted like that? I think they would change Religions.:bows:

That's not a U.S. helo.

I wonder if that is paint or body wrap like you see on many outdoor hunters trucks.

Regardless, that is unique and intimidating. Like the old flying tigers of AEF in WWII, China.

It's an MI-24 HIND, and it belongs to the Hungarian Air Force, it has never been to Iraq or Afghannyland.

Lol, well the giveaway that it isn't one of ours is it's cool. Political correctness has run it's course, no entire helo (or anything else) in our arsenal would ever get such a nice paint job. Hell, nose art is banned, much less whole aircraft art. Can't even write messages on bombs any more.

I know what you mean, in Afghanistan last summer we were allowed to paint things on the birds but only fuzzy bunnies and stuff like that. NO WOMEN. I mean not even the tasteful WWII style pinups. So instead I did "Im with Stupid" on my armor with a big arrow pointing up at the pilot. :coolman:

HA! Pranks like that I miss. Yeah, God forbid you draw or write something that may offend the people you're trying to kill. I have a big book of WWII nose art, it has some awesome pictures in it.
