nice Hind it is at that.

But at the bottom the description said it had not been part of the US, in fact owned by the Hungarian air force, but has since been been decommissioned and no longer exists.

It would have been great to use it in Afghanistan...

Imagine seeing this great bird-of-prey soaring down from the skies, and unleashing hell on the Taliban...

Close. It's a Sea Stallion(CH-53) or Super Stallion.

...I can see where you would make that mistake. Here's a Sea King
