The fleet of Flying Bulls

Cessna C 337

: Cessna 337 push-pull

At first glance, the Cessna 337 Skymaster looks pretty inconspicuous in Hangar-7 because of its size in comparison with a B-25 or DC-6B. That impression changes in an instant as soon as its two engines are started up. Then even someone who knows nothing about airplanes will notice that this has to be a truly special piece of machinery.

The new addition to the Flying Bulls: Lockheed P-38L

: Lockheed P-38L "Lightning"

It set new standards in military aviation and was hugely popular in the US Air Force: the Lockheed P-38 Lightning. In the Second World War , the fighter bomber was noted not only for its tri-fuselage construction, but also for its highly successful missions. More than 70 years after they were created , there are only a few P-38s still ta king majestically to the skies – and since the beginning of March 2009, one of them has its home in Salzburg. The Flying Bulls fleet and Hangar-7 will have a magnificent showpiece to add to their collection.

The twin-engine EC135 is mostly used for air rescue operations, as a training and police helicopter, and also for business purposes.
