A widely used ultralight aircraft is the Ikarus Fox II / C-22. Comco developed the Fox II as the
successor of the popular Ikarus Sherpa ultralight aeroplane. Production of the improved 2-seat Fox II
by Comco Ikarus GmbH in Mengen, Germany started in 1984. In 1987 was the Fox II replaced in production
by the C22. Over 1000 Fox II / C22 planes are already built and the ultralight is exported to almost
every European country, Asia, the Near East and South-America. The Ikarus C22 is offered for sale in
three models: C22 C, C22 CS and Aero. The CS model has a three-blade propeller, covered engine and a
stainless steel exhaust system. The Aero is the model in the C 22 series that has a glass-fibre fuselage
closed cockpit-cubicle with doors on both sides.
The 1991-built Comco-Ikarus C22 C Aero c/n 9108-3366 was registered PH-2F3 on 10 September 1991.
On 5 March 2004, the registration PH-2F3 was cancelled and the ultralight aeroplane was registered
SE-VGD in Sweden on 13 August 2004. Comco-Ikarus C22 C Aero PH-2F3 was photographed
at the ULM-aerodrome Stadskanaal in Vledderveen, the Netherlands.
