Mil Mi-26 with wings and turbo props?

[famvburg]

Over on Stingray's Rotorcraft forum, ucon posted some pics from MAKS, IIRC. One pic is of a Mil Mi-26 that has wings and turbo props on it. anyone have more info? http://stingraysrotorforum.activeboard.com/t50449582/100-years-russian-vvs/

Those were 'shopped, my friend.

It is an interesting notion though...

well, Mi-26 with tractor propellers looks not far from one of Mil proposals for heavy high-speed chopper...

In the latest AirInternational it is mentioned, that a Mi -26 "... wil be used as a prop for
the new Die Hard 5 action movie".
Maybe this could be an explanation ?
Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to this movie !
