This evening Mi-24 Bord 120 of the Cold War Air Museum took to the skies over KLNC for the first time. She is the second Hind in the CWAM fleet.

I believe the number is around 7, CWAM have the only 2 on public display though.

Thanks for the pics Andy, I've always thought it was a cool looking bird. Nice to see we have another in the air.

It was a very tame crowd but the Mig-23 got a 4 sec afterburner run today, its the longest run to date and she looked ready to fly before pulling the power back. We also flew both Mi-24s and L-29 N12DN flew for the first time in 5 years today. We are trying to keep the facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Cold-War-Air-Museum-CWAM/111671408920890 so be sure to like it if you have a facebook. As far as next weekend Im not a 100% sure, but the museum will be open.
