MiniRup - The Superhind MK 3 is actually modified by ATE Aerospace in South Africa and from what I understand a few of them have been sold into Algeria. The gun on the front has two cases, one on each side with different loads so they can switch between say armour piercing and normal or any other load out they want to fly with. The new MK 4 will have composite blades and full glass cockpit as well as different engines.

The Huey IIs are operated by US State Dept INL Air Wing but are supplied, including crews by Dyn Corp. They have six based in Kabul and same down in Kandahar. The schemes are mixed from what I have seen with helos of both schemes in both places.

Gobbles - That SR71 spent a lot of time having upgrades done on it do just dont think they got around to cleaning it before I stopped in.

It's incredible that they have such lush fields (of poppy plants) in such a dry and otherwise barren environment.
