Bölkow 208 for Sale — German Light Aircraft Engineering
The Bölkow 208 Junior is a German-designed and manufactured light aircraft that represents the engineering tradition of Bölkow GmbH — a company that brought technical sophistication and quality construction to the light aircraft market in postwar Germany. The 208 Junior is a low-wing, side-by-side two-seat monoplane with a Rolls-Royce/Continental O-200 engine, designed for flight training and personal use in the European general aviation market. Its all-metal construction, responsive handling, and compact dimensions make it practical for operations from smaller European airfields while providing a genuinely enjoyable flying experience for sport and recreational pilots.
