This Halo was built in 1986 and delivered to the Soviet AF as 59 yellow. In June 1992 it was transferred to the Belorussian AF as 54 white. In January 2011 it was offered for sale without success and so was painted into fake Russian markings as "27 white", and used for the film 'A Good Day to Die Hard'. The helicopter (tragically) was burnt out in the process and so the remains were scrapped with only the nose section surviving to be placed on display at this museum south of Budapest.
