Attached to the UN's Multinational Force and Observers in Sinai. Transferred to Australian Army Aviation in 1990 before being retired and passed to the Merredin Military Museum in Western Australia. Interestingly, A2-485 had crashed in November 1977 and was supposed to be written off. After a long period in storage it was rebuilt and would serve into the 21st century.

Operated by Abyssinian Flight Services (AFS), founded in 1999, which is a private Ethiopian air charter operator based in Addis Ababa. Operating several Cessna 208 Grand Caravan aircraft, it provides international and domestic non-scheduled commercial air transport services around the Horn of Africa. One of AFS's customers is the UN Humanitarian Air Service and the WFP, flying relief workers and goods to Southern Ethiopia, as can be seen here on ET-AOF (built & delivered new to AFS in 2011, test registration N62173). In 2007, AFS also established Ethiopia's first private pilot training school.

This 1992 Mi-8 was delivered to Aeroflot as CCCP-27001. It flew later for the Ukraine government as 27001 (from Jun'99), followed by Vertical-T as RA-27001 (2003). It was moved to the United Nations (UN) in Dec'06 and flew in Pakistan and (as pictured) in Afghanistan. The Mi-8 became N174RU with Simplex Corp. (a probable front company of the CIA) in Dec'08. It then had owners as Konvers Avia, Nizhnevartovskavia, again the UN, Nizhnevartovskavia, all as RA-27001. It became UR-UHC with Ukrainian Heli, then again the UN and Ukrainian Heli and went to to Alfa Aviation Inc. of the USA in Aug'23
