En 2009, l'aviation royale canadienne était en processus d'achat de CH-47 Chinook afin d'avoir une capacité de airlift en Afghanistan.
Long processus d'achat et besoin criant, la décision est prise de louer, d'une compagnie de Toronto, 4 appareils Mil Mi-17V-5 renommés CH-178 Hip.
Opérés par la 427 Escadron d'opérations spéciales d'aviation, ils sont utilisés pour le soutien des opérations des forces spéciales.
Ils sont retirés en 2011 suite aux critiques de plusieurs médias.
Le Mil Mi-17 est un appareil robuste et capable d'affronter une grande variété de conditions difficiles.

In 2019, the Royal Canadian Air force was in progress of buying CH-47 Chinook to have airlift capability in Afghanistan.
But there was an urgent need and the process was too long so they chose to rent 4 Mil Mi-17V-5 from a Toronto company that was operating in Kandahar. The aircraft was operated by 427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron and used during special operations.
In 2011 they were withdrawn because it drew critics in the media.
The Mil Mi-17 helicopter is one of the best for harsh conditions.

Dropship from the future

Here is my latest creation, which i am pretty stoked about myself, if i may say so.......
I imagined a ship from a future faction, can you guess which?
The build is made to minifig scale, and there is a cargo hold, with a working ramp, and it is prepared to hold 1 to 3 pilots/technicians. There is space for a 6 stud wide vehicle in the hold if it is not very high.
Engine nacelles can rotate, and also pivot to a small degree, but only manually operated.
I had built a landing gear, but it was too fragile to hold the model, maybe i can fix it at a later time.
There will come more photos when i have prepared them, so as to show more angles and overall proportions.

Can you spot the Fabuland piece, it is partly visible!

Plz feel free to comment, (guess the faction) and......
Enjoy
