[RegimortGUK]

Does anyone know the the serials of the two Blackhawks that the Jordanian Air Force is operating out of Paphos this summer to help deal with forest fires?
See distant ramp pic from today.

It seems Jordan also sent two AT802 for forest fire fighting.
Also Egypt sent some Mi8 or Mi17 to help Cyprus

They are reported locally as UH-60Ms but no serials so far
My photo taken from the terminal apron is here:

Are the Mils also based at Paphos at the moment?

Not sure as they arrived after I left. The video looks like it's taken at Paphos north side ramp though.
There is a guy that identifies as cyspotter on Facebook that may be able to help but I don't do Facebook...

A good friend of mine is in Cyprus atm. He sent me a photo of the 2 Egyptian Mils at Larnaca this afternoon. One has the serial in Arabic and "western" numerals and is 3290. The other only has Arabic numerals but, using Google I make them out to be 3257.

Believe they are both Mil Mi17V

Any reported sign of those Blackhawks John?

[johnwickenden]

Wellllll.........
He saw them and got a photo but it was a distant one and the heat haze made identification of the serials impossible.

If you are interested the photos of the Mils are on his flickr page. Search for "Eggwhisks (beware of rotor blades)"

My mate has now come up trumps with the serials fir the Jordanian AF Air Tractors. H has photos of both of them on his other flickr account - Volare in Europe
