Donauwoerth / Airbus (EDPR) 2020 (CIV+MIL)

[patrick dirksen]

short information for everybody who still needs to see the two Ecuadorian AF H145:
Apparantly they have been flown over from Donauwoerth to Augsburg Airport. I don`t know if this will be a longer stay, but at least one of them performed a local flight yesterday evening from and to Augsburg.

Still no information about the serials and confirmation about the connumbers?

[EvD]

Nope, but they were handed over today!

Annoying. Nice badge on the door though!

LOG Donauwoerth 02-11-2020
A short log from a 10-minute stop last monday saw the following present:
14503 BK.117D2m Serbian AF (inside hangar C9, now lost its test serial D-HADZ)
79+59 NH.90NFH Marine (production flight as "Limit 06")
85+05 CH-53GS Lw/HSG64 (towed outside of E7)
[D-HADJ] BK.117D3 primer c/n 21004, (parked outside on the ramp)
[D-HCBO] EC.135T3H RThai AF (c/n 2130), parked outside on the ramp
[D-HCBW] BK.117D2 last noted in primer in may. now received a all metallic red finish with permanent german flag. Should so obviously go to a german customer (c/n 20335); production flight
D-HMBE BK.117D2m Airbus (inside hangar C9)

the two recently delivered Ecuadorian AF H145M should have the following c/n: D-HBTS 20347 and D-HADT 20349. No clue on the serials and we need final confirmation of the tie-up of the c/n too....

In March on production line 20335 was marked as Milestone1 hope this is of some use

Hungarian AF 17 & 18 (D-HADE and D-HCBP) are obviously on delivery flight to Hungary presently. At the moment in Austrian airspace, moving eastwards.
Other News: I noted Ecuadorian AF No3 (D-HADN) yesterday at Augsburg Airport.
The other two Ecuadoran AF machines are not in South America as expected but are flying out of Ingolstadt Manching for crewtraining.
Next week I plan to visit the factory again. Hopefully more news then. There are a lot of new helicopters flying around at the moment.

By the way, if anybody is keen on Spanish Hornets, there are presently 3 aircraft on TDY at Ingolstadt.

LOG Donauwoerth 18/11/2020
89+63 SeaKing Mk.41 Marine/ MFG 5, parked outside in front of hangar E7
89+64 SeaKing Mk.41 Marine/MFG 5 , parked outside in front of hangar E7 (rotorless)
[D-HADA] BK.117D3 primer, c/n 21003. Production flight as "Redfox 11". Will be exported to USA later.
[D-HADB] BK.117D2m Lw (?!). Another obviously german example was noted in hangar D10/1. But this one did not wear the Heer camouflage c/s but was in overall dark grey (like the other already delivered aircraft). So by now I counted 5 different german aircraft for both Heer and Luftwaffe but still no official order for it!!!
[D-HADE] Bk.117D2m FA Ecuatoriana, parked rotorless on the ramp. The 4-digit FAE serial on the tail is applied, but 98% overtaped by the test reg. Only the under side is visible. First digit should be a 1, the second is 2 or 5 (so probably 12..), and number three and 4 could either be 0,3,6,8 or 9 (so you see, not that easy...). A serial in the range "120." is quite likely
[D-HADH] BK.117D2m Hungarian AF. Finally the last one is ready! c/n 20348, will become 20 later. Serial and other marks not yet applied. Was outside for engine test.
[D-HADI] BK.117D. r/bk c/s, disappeared in hangar D10/1 just as I arrived in thick fog (therefore no info on exact version)
[D-HADJ] BK.117D3 primer, parked on the ramp (c/n 21004)
[D-HADN] BK.117D2m FA Ecuatoriana, inside D10/3. c/n 20357, taken from boxes nearby.
[D-HADP] BK.117D2m FA Ecuatoriana, parked rotorless on the ramp. So at least 5 of the 6 ordered aircraft are ready!
[D-HADR] BK.117D2m Hungarian AF, towed outside of delivery hangar C9. Full colours with roundel, badge and serial "14" applied (c/n 20328)
D-HADS BK.117D2 Airbus, towed outside
D-HADX BK.117D2 Airbus, local flight as "Redfox 3" (c/n 20001)
[D-HADZ] BK.117D2m Serbian AF. Again received its testreg, 14503 overtaped. (inside hangar C9)
[D-HCBQ] BK.117D2m Hungarian AF towed in hangar. Full colours with roundel, badge and serial "13" applied (c/n 20325)
[D-HCBR] BK.117D2m Hungarian AF. Shortly towed outside of hangar, when 13 was pulled in. Will be future 12 in hungary, but serial is not yet applied (c/n 20322)
D-HMBE BK.117D2m Airbus demonstrator (inside C9)
---- H160 the centre fuselage section of a H160 was towed around in the production area. It was marked with c/n 1008.

D-HADZ was planed to deliverd to Serbia on the 20th, but for some reason landed in Hungary for a night stop. It flew to Serbia the next day:

Read on Flugzeugforum that 3 (civil registrated?) will be added to fleet of H145/Bk117 in service with Luftwaffe for training, to be stationed at Laupheim.

But that might only be 3 out of 5.....

Personally I think that the aircraft presently noted here will get military serials (I think the german cross is hidden under the big sticker on top of the fuselage) but we will see in January.

Spittervito is right! At least the 'new' grey H145 D-HADB wears a German cross, see picture at:
