The Eurocopter site at Donauwörth celebrated its 60th anniversary and invited the families and friends of its 3700 employees for a Family Day. More than 40.000 visitors followed this invitation to get an impression of the high-tech helicopters and their production lines.
The highlight of this Family Day was the excellent flying display. During the display the BO105 and the BK117, two helicopters out of the MBB era which founded the success story of the Donauwörth site, showed that despite their age they are still compatible. And it was a BO105 operated by the Flying Bulls which gave the most stunning aerobatics display. Rainer Wilke performed maneuvers where even professional pilots seemed to be wondering how he did them.
It's a pity that Eurocopter did its last Family Day almost 10 years ago and one can only hope it won't take another 10 years until the Eurocopter gates will open for such a great day like the Family Day 2006. |
