It was one of the German target towers. It crashed on a wooded hillside and
has been totally destroyed. The crew are missing at this time. There were 2
Typhoons involved, one recovered to Norvenich, the other to Koln.

Around 14:20u lt I heard KITExx (GFD Learjet) in contact with Lippe Radar on 337.700 on it's way to waypoint BIGGE, what appears to be close to the crash site. This could be the crashed one.....unfortunately I did'nt pay attention on it so don't have an exact callsign or serial....

Anybody knows where the Lear was flying from? Today when I approached Hohn around 14.00 I saw one taking off, which may have been the one involved in the incident

Seen arriving (or overshooting?) GFD Learjet at Hohn at ca 16.00LT D-CGFC.
That one could also been the one you saw take off....

Possibly yes, or that was the other one outside at that point. I am not trying to get the reg this way by the way, just wondering if it might have been the one.
