German Army Aviation just decided to fly the last few Bell UH-1D with Transporthubschrauberregiment 30 at Niederstetten until ca. mid-2019. For the three SAR det´s (SAR Kommandos) at Holzdorf, Niederstetten and Nörvenich the unit will train some additional air crews in "MAUS" = Musterausbilung (i.e. type conversion).
Indeed great news ! Hopefully a "Tag der Bundeswehr" will be organized at Niederstten before these beautifull helicopters are retired........
Coincidentally I've been busy the last two weeks examining the scramble database on the status of each UH-1.
