'German Navy-4904' takes to the air from the mobile helicopter platform. The HTM helicopter is under contract by the Bundeswehr and is operated by MFG-5 from the civil air terminal's apron.
The Aeronauticum's former MFG-2 Tornado 43+55 has recently been relocated closer to the museum buildings and in the process her markings, commemorating the 90th Anniversary of the Marineflieger in 2003, have been refreshed as well.
During refurbishment, commenced in March 2020, the correct identity of the MFG-5 gate guard was restored. For years the machine had been on display at Kiel-Holtenau and here at Nordholz as '80+52'. The Choctaw returned to the gate on 1 October 2021.
