Mi 24 Hind

The Croc, a sorta Apache/Blackhawk combo. Mean as it looks.

I haven't seen a Hind called that before - usually, they referred to
them as Gorbach (Hunchback). They had another nickname that escapes
me at the moment.

I heard hunchback but didn't know what it was. Afghan training called
them Crocs, they were mean but also long roll takeoffs and heat to shoot
at all the live long day.

I hesitate to add to this discussion because I'm not an instructor,
just a rather slow student who's not qualified to give advice that
might kill someone.
