Riga,Lidosta, Museum of soviet Air Force... this is a rare Example of an original Mil Mi 24A... a rare Bird. Think it is the Only A-Modell in an museum outside russia

... and this one is a Mil Mi 24D. This one you can find at the museum of the Chech Air Force in Prague Ruzyne

Sweet photo's , nice addition , strange one thing I do notice about Russian museums , no one seem to mow or manicure the lawns also another is the weeds growing up on the hard stands.

Ian, this is not in Russia. The museum in Riga, Latvia is in very desolate order because, the latvian Gouvernment didn´t want to do anything and safe the aircraft "of the damned russian occupants" (O-Tone of a latvian Nationalist Party-Leader, no better then the ukrainian Swoboda)
So all of the aircraft and helicopter are outside of hangars in a state of dereliction ... and this is the rarest and biggest collection of soviet aircraft and helicopters outside of Russia. It is a shame.
And the museum in Prague... is a part of the smal Chech Air Force with limited money. The Entry is free, but you can see, that the examples outside of the hangars have no protextion against the weather, especially in Winter. The good news is, that about half of the collection is in hangars.

Be a nice job if you got payed to look after the aircraft, you find the same sort ground maintenance on Russian museum grounds.
