As of today D-ENTE is loaned to the Dornier-Museum at Friedrichshafen Airport. She is part of the exhibition of Dornier aircraft and will be displayed until 30th of April to the public. During the AERO she is part of the stand of the Dornier-Museum.
D-ENTE flies again! After the successful completion of the flight into the Serengeti D-ENTE was severely damaged in an accident which occured during the landing on the return flight to Germany at the airport of Lokichoggio/Kenia. After landing the pilot lost control over D-ENTE and groundlooped over a ditch. The right landing gear was torn off, the fuselage destroyed and the wing damaged. Fortunately no injuries. After one year repair, thousands of working hours and an extraordinary effort D-ENTE took off for the second maiden flight on 5th of October 2009 from 08:32 until 08:47 UTC. Erik Baues CEO of the Flugzeugwerft Finsterwalde and his team of mechanics were responsible for rebuilding and repairing D-ENTE. She looks better than after the first restoration. Eventually the Africa Adventure came to an happy end. A thorough report about the flight to Tanzania, the restoration, the accident and the repair is in progress. The Blog about the flight to Tanzania is online again. Click here
