| Remarks: |
The last Do 24 was the Do 24TT (later known as the Do ATT), the result of Dornier's desire to test the high seas capability of an amphibious, economical aircraft.
Production began in 1979 and was completed in 1983, the Do ATT was fitted with an advanced technology wing cut from a single piece of aluminum spar to simplify production efforts with improved PT6A-45Bs. It took to the skies on April 25, 1983 and was later retired to the Deutsches Museum in Germany.
Iren Dornier, grandson of Claude Dornier, then removed the aircraft from the museum and brought it to the Philippines in 2003. It was retrofitted and restored in good working condition. It also underwent a series of rigorous test flights both on land and water and has received its airworthiness from the Philippine Aviation Authority (ATO).
The certification became the GO SIGNAL of the aircraft to push through with the planned World Tour which jumpstarted on February of 2004.

| Remarks: |
ILA 2006. Whit the merge of MBB into the new EADS group at Manching, D-FMBB was donated to the Messerschmitt Stiftung, also located at Manching. After years of inactivity, D-FMBB was restored to fly again and flew for the first time in front of the public at ILA 2002. Sadly it suffered an engine failure, grounding her again until the summer of 2004.
The Gustav is back in the air and flies in colours used by the Luftwaffe around 1943, the code FM-BB don't represent any known Nazi Ace and only seem to refer to the registration D-FMBB. http://www.touchdown-aviation.com/ |
