Question for (Russian speaking?) Mil-Mi-2 chopper experts
Hi, for those in the know, please help. I found this I.D placard of a Mil Mi-2. https://i.ibb.co/t2k2ntj/MilMi.jpg I don`t speak Russian, but am I correct to assume that the C/N of this aircraft is 50946100000 ? I always thought that the Mil Mi-2 C/N are 10 digits only. Thanks for any guidance. Best...

Discarded aircraft tires, new or old, are welcomed in other industries: Dear Rotax, I can confirm that.

Rumor: Airbus Beluga visiting AMS?
Hi,
I was told by a contact that a Beluga made an unscheduled visit to AMS due to snow in Hamburg!?
Is this true?
And why would they choose AMS over any German airport in the vicinity (not hit by snow)?
Here`s hoping for a picture!

Apparently pilots were never too excited about the cramped cockpit and excessive windnoise.
Has Boeing been able to tackle these issues for the MAX, perhaps by modifying the seating arrangement or the instruments a touch?
