Thanks for the log, and the info on the museum at Bad Sooden! One small correction:

D-HBJS SA318C BGS-staffel Mitte badge (preserved outside)

This should be D-HBJA afaik.

[sar 303 sqn]

Are you sure about this one?

I think it should me the D-HMDX , an MD 900.
The D-HDMX is a former registration of the PH-RPX now flying with the dutch police.

Good evening everybody,
D-HDMX BK117 HSD/Notartz (flying)

[mirage 69]

This should be D-HBJA afaik.

CORRECT!

Hello everybody,

Thx for all the replies.
Indeed two typo's, D-HBJA & D-HMDX are ofcourse the winning ones !
Especially for Patrick: the choppers can all be seen from outside, but hardly be photographed.
From inside (entrance fee is a mere €3,50) the possibilities are slightly better, but not ideal.
By the way: in general it's a very interesting museum (if you like the subject).
Really worth visiting (if you like the subject) is also the "Point Alpha" msuem at Geisa/Rasdorf (25km NE of Fulda) with only two choppers (BGS Al.2 & US Army OH-58) but with a far bigger
collection regarding the subject.

Good evening Jack,

Thanks for the correction. Scramble 356 (Jan09) provided some usefull information:
D-HAXA, flown to Kassel 12-12-08.
D-HAXG, (special markings ), flown to Kassel 12-12-08
D-HAXL, (basic green BP colurs), by road to Kassel 06-11-08
D-HAXP, (white colours), by road to Kassel 06-11-08
D-HAXQ, (basic green BP colours), by road to Kassel 13-11-08
D-HAXS, (white colours), by road to Kassel 13-11-08
D-HAXT, (basic green BP colours), by road to Kassel 06-11-08
As I saw three Puma's in the basic green BP colours, and it doesn't seem logic the airworthy ones are parked outside, I think the correct ones parked outside are:
D-HAXL, D-HAXQ & D-HAXT

regards,
Remco
