Reregistered at Zweibrücken by February 2025 after four months of storage there, then spent a few days at its present home Münster-Osnabrück. Ferried to Avcon Industries in Kansas, arriving early March for surveillance equipment installation and likely a new avionics suite, at two locations. Ferried back to Germany early August 2025 and seen here on a short visit, a few days before its first survey flight over nearby Ahaus.
