traveling A-109BA

Hi all,

Which former Belgian Army H-?? is the trvaling exhibit last seen at Bierset 2007? It has been painted in the Belgian Defence clours but doesn't carry any former registration!

Greetings,

It's A-109BA H16 "OT-ARP" c/n 0316 ... (credit / see the http://www.scramble.nl" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; mil database! )

Happy Easter to all,

Robert

Thanks Robert!


Is the former H16 (presumably never to fly again) the only A-109BA given this fate or are there more phased out?

Or did the H16 reach it flying/landingshours or was it involved in an accident and became a write-off?

Greetings,

Stafsels
