A Kawasaki BK-117B2 Westpac Rescue helicopter (ZK-HHJ) went down today around 5 PM local time while en route to rescue an injured hiker in a remote area. According to the article, the paramedic checked that the pilot and crew member were OK before setting "bush bashing" his way to the inju...

Wouldn't this be ex-RNZAF A-4K NZ6213 (BuNo.154905) ?

Does anyone know when the 101/MA and ZZ F-15s finally left Hohn?

Luftwaffe A400 54+02 arrived this morning around 8:30ish? Still there at 9:22 with 2 MA F-15s having started their engines (incl OT). 9:52 4 MA Eagles with engines running. The other MAs have canopies open. No sign of activity with the JZ yet. 10:00 first 4 MAs (incl OT) departed 10:10 Luftwaffe A40...

15:40 Delaware C-130 left. MO ANG C-130 still on the ramp with running engine(s).

16:10 MO ANG C-130 left. PROPS19 inbound.

16:20 WY ANG C-130 arrived.

Ground crew are by the JZ and MO F15’s. Is there any news on flying today? I was told that the F-15s are scheduled to leave tomorrow between 9-12. But that’s unconfirmed. We did have the MN ANG C-130 come and go. The IL ANG C-130 is still here along with the Turkish A400 but that just started to ta...

Thanks Bram, much appreciated! I’ll be arriving next week and staying in Fockbek so I hope to spend plenty of time at Hohn

Great photos! Do you know as of what time the sun really started to get on the tail on the departing planes?

Thanks, I now see what you mean on the map! Thank you for taking the time to explain!

Awesome photos!! Could you perhaps tell us what spots these relate to on the airfield guide?

Some things never change - like our community's ability to really ruin everything for everyone else. I can understand hooking the 2 strands of barbed wire together but ... actually cutting holes in the fence? That's begging for problems. Having never been at Jagel myself, do they normally fly 05/23 ...

No, the parking was used by a decent number of cars. No problems entering the “Anlieger Frei” roads, as long as the roads weren’t blocked BTW, which of the two "Garlbek" roads, coming from the West (Fockbek) leads to the farmers field for (paid) parking? Google maps shows 3 roads leading ...

If you click on the coordinates, it should open Google Maps and that should be more helpful?

I'm busy packing my backs and I'll travel from the other side of the world to go see me some awesome aircraft. Hope to see you all in Northern Germany in the second week of Air Defender!

Thanks, awesome photos - very interesting! I had not known that the CFS had ceased to exist and became part of the Carabinieri!! I was already thinking that they look awfully similar to CFS AB412s!! :) Where did you see all the S208Ms? I have never seen them with these nose markings but then again, ...
