German Armed Forces Helicopter down

Only saw this on a news website (behind a pay wall) now.


It seems a German CH53 helicopter did an emergency landing following a collision during a night flying exercise....

Correction:
One helicopter with 9 PoB doing a night training landing, rotorblades collided with a tree resulting in a precautionary landing.

The CH53 are now operated by the German Air Force (as part of a deal between Army and Air Force, all CH53 were handed over to the Air Force, and in exchange, all Nh90 were handed over to the Army).
