We flew with Russian Air Force Mi-2 helicopter!

Helicopter World Cup is a very special event where pilots compare their knowledge in different competitions. The Russian stage was held in Konakovo Aerodrom, Tver region. The race contains 4 different competitions, navigation, precision, fender and slalom. Mi-2’s prototype was the Soviet designation V-2 from Mil helicopters, than the project was transferred to Poland in 1964. The Mi-2 was produced exclusively in Poland, in the WSK “PZL-Świdnik“ factory in Świdnik. NATO reporting name Hoplite, is a small, lightly armored turbine-powered transport helicopter that could also provide close air support when armed with 57 mm rockets and a 23 mm cannon, but it is used in civil air taxi, agricultural flight and air rescue. If Mi-2 is quite heavy and the engines are not so powerfull, it is very manoeuvrable and beautifully flyable. Thats why this type won the Helicopter Demonstration Flight Championship repeatedly. A Helicopter World Cup egy nagyon különleges esemény, ahol helikopter pilóták mérhetik össze tu
