MBB Bo 105 P1M VBH 87+73 Heer | Tag der Bundeswehr Hohn 2016

A very rare sight these days, a Bo 105 accelerating to begin its aerobatic display at Tag der Bundeswehr 2016 (Day of the Armed Forces) held at Flugplatz Hohn. This airframe was built as a P1 combat helicopter with anti-tank missiles. Then it was converted into a P1M VBH Verbindungshubschrauber (liaison and training helicopter) by removing the weapon systems. They are now being systematically replaced by EC 135 in the light and training helicopter roles.

 

Next week, on October 19th, the last Bo-105s of the Heer (German Army) will be retired, ending a long chapter in its history.
