The Mi-8 helicopter after 52 years of service was retired today in Hungary.
One Mi-8 (3304) did a "tour" in the country with one H145M: Pápa-Szentkirályszabadja-Kecskemét-Szolnok
At Kecskemét two Gripen jets joined the farewell flight.

The Mi-17 will be in service for a few years.

Re: Hungary Mi-8 retirement
I have not seen 6215 since 2015 maybe
3304 was used mostly in the past times. I dont know about 3301 and 3305 but I did not saw them in 2021 and 2020
The remaining Mi-17 will be active till 2024-2025...hopefully.
