✈️ The Do228 NXT received its official Water Salute at ILA Berlin 2026💦 The new Do228 NXT #turbopropaircraft celebrated a landmark moment at ILA Berlin - Pioneering Aerospace 2026: the official water salute. A water salute is used to mark very special occasions for an aircraft, like the launch of a new #aircraft series.   Last week, the aircraft was unveiled to the global public for the very first time - marking a new chapter in the legendary #Dornier228 series. Following a successful first flight and the completion of all required test procedures, the #Do228NXT demonstrator was presented in its brand-new special livery to an international audience in the static display area in Berlin. ✈️   The #ILA2026 served as the perfect stage for this milestone, bringing together manufacturers, customers, and delegations from across the aviation world - all of whom showed strong interest in the new aircraft.   The Do228 NXT quickly proved to be one of the highlights of the show: during the public days on the weekend, it attracted large crowds and became one of the most photographed aircraft of the entire event. 📸 ▶️ Full Press Release on our website: https://lnkd.in/drTbs8wc #Flugzeug #Wassertaufe #Flugzeugtause #WaterSalute
