#8? I thought we were only at #7...

Nice little collection, though I always preferred the later marks of P-51, with the bubble canopy.

The photo:

"Peruan Police EP-830 L-410UVP"

posted by FLEX297, is actually that of a Peruvian Army (Ejercito del Peru) Let 410.

EP = Ejercito del Peru.
PNP = Policia Nacional del Peru.

Great photo!

Is it air force or some other branch?

Spurg is right. The registration is military, but they were used mostly by the Romanian Inteligence Service(SRI).
They went back to the Russians....sold as scrap. The helicopters were brand new...I think they had...5-6 years tops and little hours spent in the air.
I have the photo with 102...momentarily I can`t find the CD. Spurg...you`ll have a six pack from me for more photos :D

Edit: This is "05" wich was based at Alexeni AFB. In the 2nd photo is "05" and in the background "726" based at the same unit. With 726 I flew for the first time in my life some 16 years ago. And the last photo is "03". This is the ex-presidential helicopter belonging to Ceausescu(the president we killed in `89). I flew with this one too. More photos will come....I just need to make`em smaller :D

Venezuelan air arm.

Hi canpark, just a lil correction...
that white CL-215 wears civil markings.. note the YV-O-CFO-5 registration..
so it´s a civil machine and it was owned in the eighties by the one of the venezuelan heavy industries... mining corporation of orinoco.

regards.-

more on Venezuela.... a nice T-2D
...a ecuadorian army arava
and a colombian BT-67 gunship.. :p
