Check out the paint job on this chopper

[Xray]

Didn't quite know where to put this one, since I'm banned from die kieppe or whatever it is.

Got this in an email with the caption:

Check out what some of our boys overseas did to their helicopter.
Some Afghan is probably freaking out right about now .
This very special Mi-24 helicopter is presently flying in Afghanistan ,
where it is no doubt causing quite a stir.

God Bless the U.S.A.

Not sure how it came to be the USA personnel are flying a Mi-24, maybe it was in the Afghan inventory when we invaded, and just confiscated it.

It's Hungarian, not US. It was painted this way for an airshow.
