Budapest Liszt Ferenc

Hi All,
During a recent non spotting holiday I travelled through Budapest airport on Monday 2nd June and again back through on Monday 9th. On both occasions I spotted attack helicopters on the general aviation side as well as a military transport helicopter on the 9th. Also off airport on the approach I saw a Mil Mi 17? In a compound. Any help with identifying any of the above would be amazing!

Thanks
Simon

The Mi-8 in the compound should be 10433, which is positioned in the approach of Ferihegy.
For the helicopters, in the last few days Budapest was visited by multiple US Army Chinooks and Blackhawks.

Thank you Kurnass, one of the Helios on the 9th was probably a Blackhawk and there were two what looked like Apaches parked together but this was observed from the plane window during takeoff. On the 2nd I have a very poor photo of what could be an Apache taken through our coach window but it somehow looked more like a Mangusta. Very happy for the id of the Mi-8 which was seen from the plane window during final approach.
Cheers
Simon
