Hi,

the Cdr of the german AAvnSchool announced in a Newspaper that due to money restraints there won´t be any flights from Army a/c this year,

worst case would leave just the CH53 GA and the Tiger from the WTD and/or ECD.

Regards,
Mike.

By the time the last German Tiger is delivered at some point in the next decade,the Brit Apaches will be coming up for replacement,assuming there is still a British military in the next decade.

Due to a lack of pilots. That's something else than a serious technical problem of course. You may correct me, but the engine integration as well as some of the avionic changes didn´t run as smooth as expected, also the Chinook HC3 isn´t what I would call a success in military procurement. regards,...

I wouldn´t expect that the Army Heli Demo will take place as announced at the website for those who didn´t know- - German Tiger (PBL 002) are still grounded, only the WTD 61 (and LeLuc (Step 1 Heli)) are flying atm, same will be true for the ILA :cry: as the AAvnDiv (DLO) can´t support as in the las...
