Description
On a trip to the Latvian capital city, Riga, I was glad I took time out to stop by the Aviation Museum next to the airport. It has an amazing selection of vintage aircraft on display in the open air in a fantastic authentic setting, amongst them are many from the Cold War era, built in the former Soviet Union or Czechoslovakia. One of the highlights of the Museum is the enormous Mil Mi-6 (NATO reporting name Hook), this giant Soviet built helicopter for heavy transport has been flying since 1957 in large numbers and has been used in both civil and military roles. This image has a little blended texture.
