::: With a 'Tag der Heeres Fliger' (Day Of the Army Aviation) on 10 September 2006, the German Army opened the gates of Bückeburg, home of the German Army's 'Heeresflieger Waffenschule' (Army Aviation Weaponschool).

::: The static display, which was positioned without any ropes or fences around the aircraft, was modest in quantity, but great in quality. Finnish Army Mi-8PS, two Norwegian Air Force AB-412SPs and a Hungarian Hind to name a few. The Finnish Mi-8PS had only a few flight hours left and is soon to be replaced by the NH90. The 'Heeresflieger' proudly showed all of their types, including their latest, the Tiger UHT ('Unterstützings Hubschrauber Tiger' or 'Combat Support Helicopter Tiger') and the new NH90.

::: The flying display contained both mass formation fly-bys, a simulated air assault as well as solo displays. For many people it was the first time they witnessed a Tiger performing its solo display.

::: The 'Tag der Heeres Flieger' proved to be a very nice end of the 2006 season. Compliments for the organization are due here. Not in the least for the perfect parking and transport facilities !
