VERY LAST SkyWork FLIGHT! Dornier 328 D-CAAQ (ex HB-AER) Take-Off * Great Turboprop Sounds!

In this video you see the very last SkyWork flight! With much luck I was able to make this historical and melancholy recordings (7th November 2018).

I stood alone on the spot. Actually, I was there because of the Germania A319. But the Dornier 328 (ex HB-AER) seemed to wake up from the slumber. The machine was on the ground since February 2017 and had been exploited for spare parts over the months. The poor plane was in a terrible condition. From August to November 2018, the machine was repaired with great effort and made airworthy. But suddenly the Dornier 32 was prepared for take-off. I tried to alert my spotting friends. But at the same time my radio receiver crackled. The start-up clearance was passed. After a few minutes, the machine rolled to the runway. The Dornier 328 still wore the usual SkyWork colour scheme, but it was provided with the German mark D-CAAQ (ex HB-AER). The crew let the two PW100 turboprop engines run at full speed for several minutes immediately before the take-off (probably due to safety reasons?). This turboprop sound meant an unparalleled farewell concert. The machine vibrated quite violently (see and hear my video). And then the very last SkyWork aircraft took-off bound for the aviation centre in Oberpfaffenhofen (Germany). What remains are the memories of the great Bernese airline SkyWork.
