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.
