JU5588 departed Donauwoerth today on delivery.
It is currently in the air just over Switzerland heading south-west.
Don`t know why it is flying the "wrong" direction.

[Jeroen Nijmeijer]

Has the D-HBKL already been observed during a test flight?

[spottervito]

Has the D-HBKL already been observed during a test flight?

Yes, it is flying since last week.

[spottervito]

by the way, HZ-RC62 finally departed for delivery yesterday. Should be 21279 (ex D-HBKC).

[Jeroen Nijmeijer]

Has the D-HBKL already been observed during a test flight?

Yes, it is flying since last week.

In full GBP livery and without a (readable) GBP-serial?
