Looking for more information on regs 9L-LBU and RA-25200

Hi all,

I was checking my pictures that I took on my short trip to Abidjan and I shot this one:

It's a very old Russian helicopter from Paramount Airlines in Freetown.

Does anyone can find out the helicopter-type and the abbreviation of Freetown airport (BRU=EBBR).

thanks so much in advance!

greetings,

What a coincidence... This heli is pictured in this months edition of "Airways". It's a Mil Mi-8 registered in Sierra Leone operated by Paramount Airlines of Guinea. Mainly used to support the UN in Sierra Leone.

It's UN-093 with registration RA-25200 also in Freetown.

Helicopter-type anyone?

thanks, greetings,

There are two other helicopters in the back of that picture. Are you going to send another new message for each one of them?

Although I have worked for the UN, I cannot help you on this one

RA-25200 is a Mil Mi-8 Hip. In the background Mil Mi-26 Halo helicopters. There must be one like that in Charleroi
