Mi-6
Moscow Frunze Central Aerodrome, 29 August 1993.
There used to be a large collection of Russian military aircraft near the centre of Moscow. The Mi-6 'Hook' was the largest exhibit.
The amazing collection was still intact in 1993 when I first visited. An entrance fee was asked to get access.
Frunze Aerodrome (or Khodinka) was Moscow's first international airport. It closed in 2003. Most aircraft got vandalised after that and were scrapped. Some survived and moved to a better place.
In this photo you can see a couple of orange Mi-8 Hips in the background.
