The Canadian company Top Aces has been contracted by the German Ministry of Defense for aggressor / opposing forces / etc. aerial work. Normally based at Wittmund, they now have diverted to the Commercial platform of Nordholz-Cuxhaven due to runway repairs and overhaul at Wittmund. This unexpectedly gave a great view of their operations in the early morning light during our visit.
