Special Edition Comet returns to Germany

Comet D-MYGS was the second example of the FK-12 "Special Edition" to be built. The aircraft was delivered new to a customer in the Trento area of Italy back in 2010. The aircraft has now been sold to an owner in Germany with just 70 flight hours ( approx ) so far.

 
The Comet will make the flight over the Alps in the next few weeks and will be based at an airfield near Stuttgart, Germany.  


UPDATE 8.3.14 - Comet D-MYGS flew up and over the Alps on 2nd March 2014 from Italy to Germany - the photo below shows the Comet over the Splügen Pass ( approx 2115 m )  -  congratulations to Albrecht.

 UPDATED 15.6.2011 with photo

I'd like to thank Jean-Pierre for getting in touch with me to say that he is the proud new owner of FK-12 Comet Special Edition #3 - F-JSKR.

He took delivery of this new build Comet in March 2011 and flew it to his home base at Vendee Air Park, France. This new Comet replaces his previous Comet c/n 034.

Congratulations - enjoy your Special Edition.
