Airbus test flights from Hamburg

[mezoo]

Normally I only see the Belugas shuttling betwen Hamburg and Toulouse.
But today I was lucky and saw D-AVWD  and for a short time D-AUBE making test flights from Hamburg.
(This is at a distance of over 300km !)

Will become :     D-AGWY    Germanwings

Today another A321 was tested.
Will become : PT-MXL    TAM Linhas Aéreas

First a loop over the North Sea towards Helgoland.
Then back to Hamburg and a loop over Lower Saxony.

The pilot really pulled the throttle.
At times the plane was doing over 940km/h or climbing at 880m/min !

Bonus : a Beluga arriving from Toulouse
