This MI-17 Helicopter sits abandoned and useless at Everest Base Camp – serving a stark reminder to those about to climb the mountain that sometimes the weather of the region will put fate out of your own control. The MI-17 is a Russian chopper produced by Kazan Helicopters, it is still active and being produced today with over 13,000 built since its inception. The abandoned MI-17 you see here is just one in the long line of choppers designed for military transport. One of the more unique abandoned aircraft on the list.
