Kassel-Calden Mil

Post by KeesvA »

A visit to Kassel-Calden (the old airfield!) 2-8-2014 showed:
H10 A.109HO
H12 A.109HO
H15 A.109HO
all at Helitec flightline

preserved: Bo-105M
between Piper building and Eurocopter (Airbus) plant.

Further:
Bo-105M preserved
Alouette II 7698
Lynx Mk88 83+13
all can be seen on the other side of the runway

EMOOS 2014 did not show the two Bo-105 's now preserved.

Who knows the identities of the two Bo-105's ?

Kassel-Calden is the civil regional passengers airfield, and was recently build. The "old" airfield is the general aviation airfield which is positioned about 500 meters SW of the new runway, with the Airbus (Eurocopter) facility.

Cool!

Funny detail is, the maps of Google-maps show the outlines of the new airport, next to the old airfield. But the satalite pictures of Google-Earth only still show the old airfield.

Nice to see a lot can change in a few years.
Kind Regards / Groeten,

Anyone got the serials of the two preserved Bo105's?
Could not find them in previous logs.

There is one at the entrance of ZF Luftfahrttechnik, didn't see another one when I visited here two months ago. Where should the second one be? Not next to the Lynx and Alouette II, that's for sure. Scramble reports 86+98 is preserved at Kassel.

Anyone know if the Belgian A109s are still there? No longer see them outside the Helitec hangar on Google Maps' satelite image.

The second (sadly also unmarked) Bolkow is preserved near the Lynx and Alouette 2, easily visible from the other side of the airfield. The Bo that's preserved at the ZF Luftfahrttechnik entrance has 86+98 on one of its remove before flight tags for what it's worth.

Couldn't find the Belgian A109s and the hangar they used to be near has been replaced by a refugeecenter.
