[edit] Another civil operator: CANADA

I'm not sure if this is official (if Mi-26 has been certified there or just doing trials), but I recently got back from British Columbia.. and I saw several of those transporting heavy equipment and lumber —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abanamat (talk • contribs) 00:59, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

There's only one MI-26 in Canada right now and it's operating at the Galore Creek mine site in northern B.C. It's operated by a company called UTran, under the license of the canadian company Airborne Energy Solutions. It's still a russian registered aircraft, so I'm not sure that that would make Canada an actual operator. You might be thinking of the russian Kamov KA-32, of which Vancouver Island Helicopters operates several under canadian registration. 207.194.0.194 06:13, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
