Hello,

First of all EBCI is not Liège / Bierset but Charleroi (CRL), the 2 MI-26T are parked there for more than 2 years now, I can see them every day while going to work. Some maintenance is performed from time to time (for instance replacing rotor blades), but no flights at all.

Last year local authorities wanted them to leave in order to create, but it seems that an agreement was found beween Skytech and CRL in order to maintain them here...

Indeed, it's not Liege, it's charleroi.

But by the way at Liege, there is an other Mil MI 26 waiting for flights.
Same problems??

One of them has been stored for ages at EBOS. The company didn't have the finances to get/keep them flying...

There are two Mi26 at Charleroi EBCI and one at Liege EBLG.

Those in Charleroi are standing there since around 2000 and never flew since! I don't think the one at Liege is flying too!

They are owned by Skytech Helicopter.

see the photos I took at Charelroi:

One of them has been stored for ages at EBOS.

Your sentence means that it's still there.
If you say: "One of them was stored at EBOS for a long time", then it's not stored there anymore.

So which version is correct? And if it's still there, then where is it because I haven't seen it yet.

But no problemo, I'll explain it more clearly to you : it's gone!
