That reminds me.... Seen last week was an Mi-8 in a new digital c/s, anybody who knows the bort number for this one? It is not carried externally unfortunately.
Storage area is still the same here, as it has been for years.

Patrick,
What exactly do you mean by "new" digital c/s?
The only Borispol-based Mi-8 I know of in digital scheme is 70 yellow/95237, which indeed does not currently wear a bort.
However, it has been in this scheme for over 2 years....

Hi Andy,

That's indeed the one I meant! I visited Boryspil recently, and was told this was a new c/s, clearly that info was wrong.... Thanks for the id though!

Hello Coati,

Mi-8 03 ye is not stored but operational. I don't know an An-26 07 bl, are you sure about this one?

The 3 An-26: the White had a yellow serial, both grey ones: one with a blue and one with a yellow serial. Any Unique combi here?

An-24 01 ye has a grey c/s, An-26 02 bl is also grey and An-26 07 ye has a white c/s.

By the way, note that An-26 02 bl is c/n 8509 and used to be 02 ye! This has recently finished a big overhaul and got a repaint.

Hi Andy and Patrick,

Indeed the two were visitors! The other White An-26 should be 07 ye, since I saw the yellow 7 on it. The 2 equally grey ones: I think there are more of those grey ones around? And Thanks forMi-8 03 ye, did not realize it is operational. Joost

[patrick dirksen]

You're welcome. There might indeed be more grey ones around, but those two are based at Borispol, and have been seen there very recently as well. No other missing based ones are grey afaik.
