FK-12 "Ski Comet" !

I'd like to thank Thomas Hopferwieser for sending me the photo below. The photo shows FK-12 Comet D-MKKJ ( c/n 77 ) operating with attached skis through the snow at Kufstein / Langkampfen ( LOIK ) in the Tyrol region of Austria.




This is the first photo I've seen showing the Comet flying with skis fitted - thank you.

I'd like to thank Freddy from Belgium for his report from this years "Tankosh" fly in - Unfortunately the number of visiting aircraft was reduced due to poor weather over much of Europe.

He saw 5 FK-12 Comets at Tankosh - D-MGFK, D-MIRK, D-MKKJ, D-MORE and D-MPHK.



Aircraft D-MKKJ is a new addition to the FK-12 Comet production listing ( see below ) and appears to be c/n 77 - thanks to Freddy for this photo
