BK117 C/N 7001 D-HBKC
This is the livery of D-HBKC, construction number c/n 7001, the first production machine off the Donauworth line in 1982. It was test flown by chief-test pilot Siegfried Hoffmann and flight-test engineer Walter Sinn on 23rd April 1982 in Ottobrunn. For a time it was the factory demonstrator before changing ownership within Germany a number of times. Finally it was bought by Transportes Aéreos Pegaso in Mexico, where it remains in use today.
Oddly, in addition to owning the first BK117 off the production line, Pegaso also bought the last BK117 made, XA-UBP c/n 7555 in 2004. They still own and operate both.
UPDATE: 24 May 2011, Livery png now modified so that bear paws are now correctly omitted for this particular aircraft. For convenience you can load up the Radome or Non-Radome BK117 but it will be the same aircraft now with the bear paws deleted.
