When it was first presented internationally in 1957, the Mil Mi-6 undisputedly qualified for the world's largest helicopter. Designed as large transport for military and commercial use, the Mil Mi-6 stunned Western observers with its sheer size. A two-winged rear door swings open to allow the loading of bulky loads. Additional loads can be attached externally. Extra fuel tanks can optionally be attached as well as two stubby "wings" extending sideways just aft the rotor shaft, offering additional fuel capacity. The Mi-6 was mainly produced by the aircraft factory of Kazan from 1968 onwards to 1980. Some have been exported to Bulgaria, Egypt, Poland and Vietnam. Capable of carrying 65 passengers.

This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood® First Day Cover for the Russia 6k Mil Mi-6 stamp issued May 15, 1980.
