Hi everybody,
just seen flying overhead my office in Augsburg in very low altitude were 5 Thai Navy H145s in a nice arrow-formation.
Can`t offer any serials/regs but I guess they must be 2213-2217 the ones which are present at the moment.

Just in case anybody is nearby that is the chance to see them all together in one occasion!

Handed over to Royal Thai Navy on 02-Sep-2016:
D-HADL 20057 serial 2213
D-HADA 20073 serial 2214
D-HADJ 20092 serial 2215
D-HADM 20094 serial 2216
D-HMBF 20099 serial 2217
The Royal Thai Navy seria ls turn out to be different from what was previously anticipated.
