Hi,
a friend of mine, Dave Z, is a military pilot at the Kbely airbase and recently sent me some pics that he took during his missions. Check this out & enjoy!
The description is by Dave Z:
These are bit older, from times when I was navigator on Antonov An-26. It's from May 2004 when two C-160 from France visited our base. I was invited to fly in one C-160 and took these pictures.

It's not a monkey, it's me
I was assigned to paratroopers training as an air force advisor, because I'm one of few in our base who can guide An-26 from the ground for paradrops (from days when I was navigator). So from base to target area I was given a Mi-24 Hind as a transport! And their primary goal was rocket training!
I'm not so important, so my transport was only secondary. But I was able to take these pictures when flying as a cargo:
I'm especialy proud of this picture. S-8 rocket launch.:
Like 'em? :P
Cheers,
Pisis
(But HIND isn't a bad rotor-plane...)
