If you are talking about the Morane Saulnier MS-733 "Alcyon" on the ground, the picture is from the international air show at Le Bourget in 1955.

But why (Afghan UH-60s)? Doesn't the Mi-8/17 perform better in the conditions around Afghanistan? Could it be that this is the U.S. DoD patronizing the U.S. defense establishment for a little gravy? I'm sure the Taliban will be stoked when they get their hands on them.
