LOG Donauwoerth 08-03-2017
74+63 Tiger UHT Heer. The newest Tiger noted so far by me and the production is beginning to reach the end... (engine test in front of F8)
76+13 H145M GAF/HSG64. Came in as "Dixi 07". Still crewed by Airbus crew, but it should be officially handed over already, since it lost its test reg. D-HADV (c/n 20125)
79+27 NH.90TTH German Army (not GAF!). Still under construction and towed into F8. It seems, that not all 79** serials are for the GAF as expected. This one carried "Heer" marks anyhow.
84+45 CH-53GS GAF/HSG64. Parked outside on the ramp for an engine test.
85+12 CH-53GA GAF/HSG64. Departed to Laupheim as "Mighty 22" after maintenance
89+51 Sea King Mk.41 GN/MFG3. Parked outside on the ramp in front of the maintenance hangar.
89+61 Sea King Mk.41 GN/MFG3. Towed rotorless back into maintenance hangar.
[D-HADB] H145 primer. Inside hangar and c/n probably 20119
[D-HADD] H145 grey underside and blue upperside with blue cheatline (see log from 21-01). returning from a production flight.
[D-HADJ] H145M Royal Thai Army f/c. Towed from production area to flight test hangar. Although I tried hard, it was impossible to read the c/n under the radome due to the distance.
[D-HADP] H145 Polizei Sachsen. C/n 20124 and local flight as "Redfox 7". Last digit of future reg. D-HSAA just readable under sticker.
[D-HADQ] H145 inside hangar D10. Just a black tail visible, so I guess it is a RAF Jupiter HT.1
[D-HADS] H145 Airbus demonstrator. On the ramp in front of hangar C8.
[D-HADX] H145 Airbus demonstrator. Local flight.
[D-HADY] EC.145C2 metallic blue with silver top. c/n is 9778, testflight as "Redfox 15". This is one of the very few "old" EC.145 which will not become UH-72A´s. Unfortunately all titles and national insignia were properly overtaped, so no idea of the operator.
[D-HBTA] H145 Polizei NRW f/c. Will become D-HNWU, which is overtaped. c/n is 20134. Local flight as "Redfox 25"
[D-HCBE] H135 light blue/dark blue (RTE France). Outside on the ramp. (c/n unknown)
[D-HCBW] H145 (same colours as D-HADD above). I still do not know the operator but at least the c/n is confirmed now: 20127. Local flight as "Redfox 14".
[D-HECM] EC.135P2+ Airbus testbed. in primer c/s (c/n 0886) Local flight as "Redfox 2"
[D-HECD] Juno HT.1 (H135T3H) RAF f/c. No confirmation of the c/n but I´m almost sure that it must be 2007 (ZM509 for the RAF). Testflight
D-HEEJ EC.145C2 first prototype (c/n 9001). Obviously (temporarily) wfu as missing engine and rotor. Sitting in front of "experimental" hangar C10 for some strange tests with water on the windscreen (they should have done it today as it is raining cats and dogs...)
D-HKUJ H145. Yellow/blue c/s and registration EC-MOt already painted on. Came in for a short stop from Ingolstadt and departed to Augsburg. It is obvious, that the ones under rework at Augsburg receive a second german temporary registration as noted several times now. This aircraft has c/n 20126 can be ex D-HCBV or D-HADR (both noted in these colours before)
D-HNWV H145 Polizei NRW f/c (c/n 20140, still without test reg.). Incomplete fuselage uder construction which was just towed into production area.
That were a lot of choppers today! If anyone is interested on pictures, they can be found on my flickr account:
