Mindelheim / Mattsies (EDMN) 2021 CIV/MIL

Post by spottervito »

Noted at the Grob Aerospace factory airfield at Mindelheim-Mattsies today were two new Kenya Air Force Grob G-120TP.
One has test registration D-ETPP (c/n 11162), the other one was D-ETPJ (c/n 11160). Unfortunately the Kenyan serial was not yet applied. The contruction number was written on a small sticker on the aircraft.

thanks for the update, Andy!
Honestly I was frustrated and delighted at the same time about the fact that apparently 12 G120 were delivered...
Frustrated because I never saw one of them doing testflights in the last weeks/months. And for sure I would have done the journey to Mindelheim then. It is very near for me and the viewing possibilities from outside are excellent.

D-ETPJ in fact left on Tuesday southbound, so should have arrived in Kenya by now. The other one, ETPP should still be here, I saw it yesterday on ADSB doing a testflight.

D-ETPJ actually returned to Mindelheim on the 15.th , so it eather had a problem or just was on a fun/demo flight.

Happy new year to all,
