The Bundespolizei (Federal Police) were well represented at this event. When D-HLTF was delivered in 2000, it was in the green uniform of the Bundesgrenzschutz (Federal Border Guard) as they were then still called. The personnel and dog on the ground belong to the Feldjäger (military police).

Sorry for all the gras being thrown up!

BPO160 flew in directly from it home base Bonn-Hangelar and is seen here leaving Stadtlohn, possibly after awaiting a certain surface transport that it would be escorting. Delivered in 2001 to the Bundesgrenzschutz, transferred to the federal police in 2006.

Taxing out for a flight to Zwickau (Saxony), using callsign "BPO510". The predecessor of the "Bundespolizei" (till 2005 called "Bundesgrenzschutz") had already operated 23 SA-330 Puma's between 1973 and 2008. The first two AS-332 Super Pumas entered service in 1988, but it was only as from 2004 that 11 more Aérospatiale built AS-332L1's joined the fleet. Those were all 2nd hand mainly sourced from british offshore operators. Further, seven new Eurocopter built L1's (incl. D-HEGW) were introduced as from 2008 and finally, four Airbus H215 were added in 2019, bringing the total SP number to 24.
