Tag der Bundeswehr 17 June 2023 Buckeburg Kaufbeuren

[Stephan Lodewijks]

Do27 D-EDFL/(5684) arrived mid day.
The Piaggio 9057 (ex Bentlage) in the Lehrwerkstatt looked like the real deal.
It has 9057 on instr panel and sticker from Rheine Bentlage 1984/2017.
Halle 8 was off limits today.

The one in the Lehrwerkstatt hangar also had 'LUFTWAFFE-FWP.149D 74' in its tail. 074 is the MSN of 90+57. But, that body section can be swapped, I think, so I'm definately happier with the '9057' that was mentioned seen on an instrument panel in the cockpit.

As far as I known 98+24 was only allocated to the Bo105C, remained as D-HDFG.

Although I have no further info on it, I noticed the c/n plate was missing. Seems to be a bad sign to me, that's not something you remove from an aircraft unless it is not going to fly anymore I would say (ok, there are exceptions, but a German NH.90?). But I guess time will tell.

The drivers told me that the airframe is no longer i use and that it's been for years at Buckeburg in an hangar.

Odd, the drivers told me the arrived with an empty trailer and saw the NH90 parked in a hangar. They ask about it and were informed it was waiting for major overhaul and it was ok to put it on their trailer for display.

Different drivers...?
