What’s old is new again? The recent suggestion of possible deployment of nuclear-armed French fighters in Germany led me to recall when this happened before: F-100D/F Super Sabres from the 11e Escadre de Chasse based at Bremgarten and Lahr-Hugsweier, 1963-64.

Worth noting that the German Armed Forces already operates the H145M, with 24 examples having been ordered for special forces operations (German Air Force) and search and rescue (German Army) missions. These replaced the old UH-1Ds in these roles.
