My last visit for this year produced again some new choppers and additional information:
[98+56] NH.90NFH Marine. testflight. Factory code is NGEN002 which makes it the future 79+52. c/n was reported as ..97 so I guess it must be "1397" (needs final confirmation of course)

I need some help everyone. I went by Donauworth today for the first time during a working day. I had trouble finding anywhere to park my car that seemed ok (legal) and I am also unsure of where is ok to stand to take pictures without being harassed. Can anyone shed some light on these subjects for me?

I would like to go back again on monday. Is there typically a decent amount of flying on mondays?

Oh almost forgot, I saw two aircraft flying but was only able to catch one.

[D-HADA] H145 Previously noted as being in primer, now in a red and white scheme. Has marking of "Rega 1414" on front door Seems to be red body with white cross inlay (Swiss company?) was performing hoist operation tests.

Hi, parking can be done next to the little power station house immediately on the right after going under the bridge when you passed the airfield entrance (driving south). Hmmm, sounds complicated like this, but those are the coordinates: 48 42 17 N, 10 46 18 E.
As for standing, everywhere outside the fence is ok. Best spot would be on the higher ground just north of the spot for parking, so next to the parking lot of Airbus. Nobody will bother you there normally. Have fun!

Are you talking about where the red arrow is pointing in the picture?

[patrick dirksen]

There is no picture, at least not on my screen.... But put the coordinates in Maps or Earth, and you'll clearly see what I mean.

hmm weird that the picture wasnt working, but after inputting the coordinates into google maps, yes that is the same place. good to know I can park there without any issues. thanks!
