Nordholz (ETMN) 2024

[Herby]

The first five ordered P-8A Poseidon (three more will follow later) will be delivered to MFG 3 from October 2024 until February 2025.

Only two P-3C Orion will fly until late-2025. Most probably this should be 60+04 and 60+08.

Six Sea King Mk.41 will be handed over to the Ukraine, this is planned for Q 2/2024 after training of pilots and technicians. Also spare parts and other equipment connected to the type will given to the Ukrainian Navy.

MFG 5 plans to paint another (last!) Sea King Mk.41 shortly and presumably 89+58 was chosen for this.

They should be some kind of flyout in spring and also some kind of „Good-bye Sea King“-tour formation around Germany.

First noted at ADSB in the morning of 8.2. is 24817, presumably former MFG 3 P-3C CUP 60+08, flying patterns at Nordholz. It is noted at ADSB as Portuguese AF callsign AFP76.

It’s roll out had the special coloured Sea King, top colour is dark blue.

I believe the P-3 is scheduled to depart tomorrow at 1030lt to Beja

24817 left as AFP77 in the morning of 9.2. and after reaching Portuguese airspace it was obviously escorted by another P-3C, 14810.
