Overview

  • Flights are scheduled from September 22 to 26 along a published route that crosses multiple German states.
  • A total of 13 helicopters will take part, with formation flying planned over some major cities.
  • The route runs from Sankt Augustin near Bonn to Gifhorn, Hamburg, Fuhlendorf, Barth, Neubrandenburg, Blumberg, Bautzen and Kassel‑Calden, then returns to Sankt Augustin on September 26.
