The video is starting where it is because this is the only video I have found, so far, of a Hansa Jet taking off:
That appears to be a Luftwaffe ECM bird. Not very many Hansa Jets were built. I doubt if any of them are still flying, just from the lack of any video uploaded by planespotters.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Total of 47 produced, and the last flying example (TC-LEY) seems to have landed in 2011 at the Rahmi M. Koc Museum (Istanbul, Turkey) that year. There is one other whose location/status is unclear (N320AF), but the FAA practically grounded them (15,000 hour limit) in the U.S. in 2006.
ReplyDeleteN620AF shows as sold within two months of the grounding. It then shows as N103F, stored and owned by "Beverly Bank"...this would have been the 2006 sale, but then we have a picture. Supposedly from 6/9/2012, N320AF is photographed on the ground at KFXE in an ex-ECM configuration (extended nose), but a search of Google Maps data doesn't show the aircraft visible on the field. Also, that hull number was never used by the Luftwaffe.
If the video date is correct, it is certainly an ECM training bird, as the executive models were withdrawn from Luftwaffe service in 1987. The ECM trainers seem to have flown through 1994.
Odd little birds, and those look and sound like the same engines used on the Lears... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_CJ610
