This Mi-2 was originally delivered to the Ukraine directorate of Aeroflot as CCCP-20678 in June 1980. This registration was cancelled in July 1992 and the frame exported to Czechoslovakia whereupon a couple of months later it became OK-KIX with Bel-Air, although in early 1994 it was re-registered OM-KIX. It is now on display with this fake registration in this open-air forest museum. Note the real OK-EIR (cn 543831114) flew with Air Transport Europe but crashed whilst landing in snow at Donovaly, Slovakia in January 2004.
