I heard not too long ago who painted it, But i forget who it was, somehow I think it was military personnel that did it. I forget what military it was

At the automotive paint store I looked at the latest issue of, hmmm, "Airbrush Art(?)" "Airbrush Times(?)", Airbrush something, and they had a very detailed article on the hows and whys of feather painting.Very detailed. A must see if you're interested in doing this sort of thing.
As I'm sitting here writing this, it seems strange to me that in this country that's so homogenous in many ways, there's cool stuff like this going on here and there, that a lot of people (like me) are unaware of. Could be just down the road, drive around a corner and WOW! Never saw anything like that before.

Another thought: fly this thing deep into the Amazon interior where the people have never been in contact with the outside world. Might make 'em hungry. "Roast that baby, and we could invite 10 tribes over for dinner."

Origins: Common as it may be to assume that any neat-o piece of military hardware must be American — especially when it's painted to look like the same type of bird that serves as the U.S. national symbol — the helicopter shown here is not American, nor has it been used by U.S. forces in Afghanistan or Iraq.
The type of helicopter shown in these images is the Mi-24 Hind; the unusually-decorated version pictured here belonged to the Hungarian Air Force and was evidently painted with the eagle design by one of its crew members. The craft was not used in military operations and carried no armaments; it was strictly a display vehicle exhibited at air shows and the like. As far as we have been able to determine, the helicopter has since been decommissioned and no longer exists.

I've had the pleasure of jumping out of an MI-8 russian helicopter...Awesome skydiving platform. We spent a week in Venezuella jumping this one. What a vacation!

MARIO..Yer bound by secrecy about that operation!!!
I knew you would forget....good thing I took the oportunity to change the format from the helicopter looking like a coon hound to making it look like a hawk.
From now on we won't talk about our covert ops OK??? Especially my unique abilities at low level bungee jumping????
