HA 200 D ‘SAETA’ (ENGLISH: ‘ARROW’)
This HA 200 D, tail number DIWMS, was purchased in an airworthy condition in Seville, Spain in late July 1995 and then moved to Manching.
Built in Seville in 1966 with serial number 20-73, the aircraft was initially in the service of the 462nd Squadron and was later used by the 214th Squadron until it was taken out of service in 1982. It was then put into storage, but was subsequently certified for use in civil aviation and flew in Spain in this capacity for a number of years. After being moved to Manching, the aircraft underwent some restoration work and was repainted before taking to the air again for the first time in April 1998.
