Yearly there is an airshow in Szolnok over Tisza river from MH86 Helicopter Base for Hungarian National Day, 20th of August. The pilots always do at least two trainings few days before the show.
The Mil Mi-24 was retired from Hungarian Air Force at 2013, but they were sent to overhaul last year, so they came back to the fleet at the beggining of 2019. One of the "new" ferst demonstration flights of the Mi-24 took place in Szolnok practice days.
The Mil Mi-24, named HIND, is a large helicopter gunship and attack helicopter and low-capacity troop transport with room for eight passengers. It is produced by Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant and operated since 1972 by the Soviet Air Force, its successors, and more than 30 other nations.
