Mil-17 Z4104 at Excercise Vayu Shakti

This unsually painted Mi-17 seen at Vayushakti has a 4000 series tail number, Z4104 - never photographed before. The Helicopter is one of the six acquired by the Border Security Force - and featured the rust green camo color scheme seen on it in this photo. The choppers were later leased to the Indian Air Force - hence its appearance at Vayu Shakti. The IAF later repainted these helicopters in its more familiar grey scheme.
