Fallout Re: Attack Helos

Just an update...
Steve of the LUFTWAFFE just left me an email and unfortunately he has lost contact with the Army Mi-24D/P pilots of the DDR and BUNDESWEHR he knew. As we know (Now.) and for the newer folks here now, it was the BUNDESWEHR that would ultimatley fly the Mi-24P HINDS acquired after reunification. The program was killed for maintenance reasons of cost and lack of spares. The Mi-24P was phased out by 1991 and soon sold off to I BELIEVE Hungry. It never got past the evaluation stage in Germany. Sorry...

Regards,
Pat
