Chopper

Writes blogger Denis Mokrushin:

Torzhok tell an interesting story about how the helicopter got its name.
2001 or 2002, West Africa, Sierra Leone. Our pilots perform on this Mi-24P one of the flights as part of the UN peacekeeping mission. Flying over the Atlantic, something goes wrong and the helicopter is beating the surface of the water, a little diving. Deeper are gone, soared.
After this voyage aboard and there was an inscription "Calypso" (analogy with the ship Cousteau) with the silhouette of the submarine, resembling a helicopter. The sun symbolizes the hot Africa.





Currently, resource helicopter completely exhausted, he quietly written off and disassemble the parts.
