Thanks formulier log NATO Tiger.

Small addition:

In the hangar behind AW169 5M-IA (behind the camouflagenets and stored goods) SA316B 3E-LC could be found without rotors).

The flightsimulator in het big tent looked like a real Alouette III fuselage. If correct, anyone for its identity? TIA.


Kind Regards,

Per and Jip

The simulator was at Tulln-Langenlebarn on Thursday. It was checked there and at Aigen. It had “3E-KK” on the instrument panel.

[frank kramer]

Also on the static was instructional airframe 3E-KM (with a tail from a Swiss Al3). There were two more Alouettes in the hangar where LC was; one of them was ex-Swiss. And of course, there was the gate guard, 3E-KG.

[Hans van Herk]

In total six Alouette 3s were on the flying ramp. The missing one, which dit not fly, was 3E-KV.

Although the flight simulator had 3E-KK on the instrument panel, it is most probably not 3E-KK. The instructional airfame on the static was 3E-KK, but had 3E-KM on the instrument panel. The c/n (1547) however belongs to 3E-KK. So they must just have swapped instrument panels.
So the identity of the flight simulator fuselage is not known yet.

Inside building 044 near AW169B 5M-IA, had indeed three Alouette 3 inside, (3E-)LC, (3E-K)R and an unknown example positioned behind the KR.
