I haven't seen this reported here yet.
Lufthansa A340-300 D-AIGZ is currently in Hamburg, being converted into a medevac aircraft, especially for transporting Ebola patients.
See: http://www.ibtimes.com/lufthansa-turns- ... el-1725674
According to http://www.flugrevue.de/zivilluftfahrt/ ... uen/599574 the aircraft will remain a civil aircraft, operating with voluntary Lufthansa crews. The Lufthansa colours have been neutralised, the white tail carries the German flag and a small Federal Government logo is shown near door 2.

Re: A340 "Ebola Jet" for German Government
For those who want to see the "Ebola-Jet", it has been parked in FRA, in the Lufthansa area, since its arrival here on 14DEC14.
Easiest way to see it, is from windowseat on the left hand side of a plane, landing on 25R
(that's how I saw it today, 17DEC).
It should be visible from the parking-garage near the entrance to the Lufthansa-base though, looking over the sound-wall.
