I was very fortunate to see two of these sat on the deck at Anna Pollatou airport, Kefalonia on 18/9/2017. They were on delivery to the Algerian AF. Huge machines.

My two Mi26s were both Farnborough airshow exhibits and were CCCP-06141 which I remember from the 1984 show. Then, after the Russian reggie change, RA-06089, I'm not sure which show that one was at, I think it was an early 1990s show. If anyone does remember which one it was at, please do remind me. I do remember it was still around well after the show had finished as I remember it being used as a parachute jump ship at the Queens parade field between Aldershot & Farnborough.
As Graham says, 06089 was written off in 2001 when with the Mexican AF as serial 1901. Sister ship 1902 is still stored at St Lucia AFB, Mexico. 06141 I graphed at Farnborough on 5 September 1984.
