Correct, owned by the museum of course, and undergoing restoration work as confirmed in the Ju-52 halle. It now carries its serial as well.

Hello, sunday 9yh June we noticed heavy construction at the western part and a big sign said it is newbuilt for Airbus A400 maintenance, will this mean the A400 fleet worldwide? will use Wunstorf and Sevilla in the near future?

[Herby]

In mid-June A400M 54+46 will be delivered from Sevilla to LTG 62 and also the long-time maintenance aircraft 54+01 is awaited back after more than four and a half years leaving for Manching in October 2019(!).

[Herby]

On 19.06. after 13.00h special painted C-130H 747 of HAF/356.MTM arrived from Hahn.

Later in the afternoon A400M 54+46 will arrive from Sevilla for it’s first landing here.

[Herby]

A400M 54+01 arrived back on 20.06.

The first LTG 62 A400M which was finished with at special „Pacific Skies 2024“ badge on the fin is 54+09. Some more should follow.

The 62thAW C-17A 94-0066 on 26.06.departed with MH-60S 168856/VR-69 of HSC-21. It already was the third visit of this C-17A in the last four weeks. On this day the two C-130J 55+01 and 55+03 of BATS Rhin/Rhein were also visiting.

The first landing ever (!) by a Skyhawk on this base was made by Top Aces A-4N C-FGZI/531 on 25.06.
