Moin!

The Bückeburg International Helicopter Training Center (IHTC), formerly known as German Army Aviation Corps’ School / Heeresfliegerwaffenschule, is the training airfield for basic flight training of the German armed forces in cooperation with other european countries. Student pilots come from Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium and Spain.

Training helicopters are EC-135, H135, H145M, NH90 and the Bell206 just had their fly-out.
