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
