Why I fly #2: Flying the MI-24 through a Georgian River Valley

[llivaudais]

Hello,

 

I've waited for years to have a machine that could record and edit flight videos and the time has finally arrived.

 

I'm new to this aspect of the flight simming experience but every time I see someone adding to the FSX sticky "How do you keep FSX interesting?" I want to point out some of my flights but couldn't do anything but maybe provide one of the in-flight "recordings/.fsr" files.

 

Now I have no more excuses... my effort at this point may be amateurish but, hey, I'm having fun.

 

This "Why I fly #2" offering is a 7 minute trip up a Georgian river valley in a Russian/Soviet MI-24 Hind .

Not amateurish - nice job!

Very reminiscent of "Mimino", a beloved Soviet comedy film from the 1970s, about an Aeroflot helicopter pilot who yearns to fly the Tu-144 "Concordski" SST. It opens with an Aeroflot helicopter flight through Georgia! And the catchy "Chito Grito" theme song. :)
