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.
