The Hungarian People's Army operated 49 Hip-Cs, initially equipping the 86th Independent Helicopter Regiment between February 12 and 25, 1969. Training with the new helicopters began in Kecskemét but by the end of the year they had been re-deployed to Szentkirályszabadja, which served as the main base for Mi-8s in the following decades, although some were based at Szolnok Opera. This example is on display at the superb RepTár Szolnoki Repülőmúzeum. This photo is copyright © Alastair T. Gardiner, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
