1. Title: "The Second Prototype of Simmering-Graz-Pauker M-222 Flamingo OE-FEA Taking Flight" This photograph showcases the second prototype of the Simmering-Graz-Pauker M-222 Flamingo aircraft, registered as OE-FEA, soaring through the clear blue sky. The image was captured around 1962, a few months after its re-registration from OE-VEB on September 27, 1961. The M-222 Flamingo, manufactured by Simmering-Graz-Pauker A.G., was a versatile, twin-engine, multi-role transport aircraft designed for various applications, including passenger, cargo, and medical evacuation missions. This particular aircraft, with the manufacturing serial number msn 2, underwent extensive testing and modifications before being put into service. As the second prototype, OE-FEA played a crucial role in the development and refinement of the Flamingo design. Its sleek, modern appearance and advanced features, such as retractable landing gear and advanced avionics, set it apart from its predecessors. The aircraft's distinctive name, "Flamingo," was inspired by its graceful, elegant shape, reminiscent of the long-legged, pink wading bird. The successful flight of the OE-FEA prototype marked an important milestone in the history of Simmering-Graz-Pauker A.G. and the aviation industry as a whole. Its innovative design and versatile capabilities paved the way for future advancements in aircraft technology and transport solutions. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and power of aviation history in action. The M-222 Flamingo OE-FEA stands as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its designers and engineers, who dared to push the boundaries of what was possible in aircraft design and transportation.
