Wunstorf (ETNW) 2025

[Herby]

A400M 54+01 of LTG 62 in special markings broke down at Eielson AFB one week before Christmas and is still there. 54+38 was sent with technicans and spares, but returned with crew and maintenance personal because the problem could not be resolved in time before the Christmas holidays.

Seen at ETNW late morning on 12/01/2025 were:

A400M
54+02, 54+03, 54+04, 54+09, 54+10, 54+12, 54+13, 54+14, 54+15, 54+16, 54+18, 54+19, 54+26, 54+29, 54+30, 54+31, 54+34, 54+36, 54+37, 54+38, 57+42, 54+46

As written in the Wunstorf (ETNW) 2024 group something special could happen and it will happen to the last three German A400M!

New A400M MSN 145 was seen at Sevilla as 54+61!

The three Luftwaffe transport wings LTG 61, 62 and 63 did much humanitarian aid, disaster support and MEDEVAC flights all around the world in the previous sixty-eight years and because of this the last three A400M will get the serials 54+61, 54+62, 54+63 instead of of 54+51, 52 and 53.

Well done, BAAINBw!
