FK-12 Comet Fly In at Wendelsheim

On the weekend of the 10th & 11th September a group of Comet pilots held their second annual "Fly In"  - this year the airfield location was at Wendelsheim in the Alzey-Worms district of Rhineland.

This year 9 Comets visited the event,

OO-F77, D-MFKD, D-MNAZ, D-MOJE, D-MSLK, D-MSLP, D-MSSS, D-MWEW, D-MYLG, 


Among the FK-12 Comets that visited the Fly In at Wendelsheim were,



D-MFKD c/n 060 - this Comet now has a new colour scheme - it was originally all yellow with a large "60" - the new colours feature a "flaming Comet rock" on the engine cowling - very nice.


D-MXIL c/n 088 - this Comet was delivered in 2010 - the colour scheme is virtually identical to Comet D-MVCW








D-MSSS c/n 029  - this Comet was built in 2001 and is flown by pilot Peter Kranz  - I think this colour scheme is one of the most attractive I've seen on a FK-12 Comet.

Fly In at Tankosh Germany 19th - 20th July 2008

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
