Oh the memories, back then PC games were so classic and a so much more imagination was needed to enjoy them and creating the idea of them having anything to do with the real stuff (or was that era even a bit earlier? Somehow the game F15 strike eagle III or something like that, comes up in my mind when I think about the early/mid 90's.)

Anyway the RamboII/III tweaked wannabe Hind looked cool as well imho and I think to remember that the pilots loved the added extra wings of the chopper, as it performed even better with them, especially during low speed.

I don't remember him flying one in Rambo II. I remember him being chased by one though.

He flew with POWs in what looked like a modified Bell UH- something, in Russian colors. He was chased by one of those from FB3
