To keep you up to date. The helicopter picked the Mooney up from the field. I know the article above is in German but that's a quick translation:
Helicopter transports aircraft Spectacular action over Hof
At the beginning of May, a light propeller aircraft coming from Jena had to make an emergency landing in the Frössen district of Gefell. This Wednesday it was brought to Hof for maintenance. There were short-term restrictions for motorists. Anyone who watched the sky over the city and district of Hof between 1.30 p.m. and 2 p.m. today, Wednesday, witnessed a spectacular action. A Helix Airline AS 350 helicopter transported a Mooney propeller aircraft to Hof. The pilot of the plane had to make an emergency landing in the Gefell district of Frössen (Thuringia) near the Bavarian border on May 6th. His machine had engine problems. According to Police Chief Inspector Michael Müller, the special helicopter with a payload of 1400 kilograms started in Thuringia and reached the Hofmann aircraft hangar at Hof-Plauen airfield in the afternoon. Müller is the officer responsible for such operations at the Hof Police Inspectorate. For the overflight, it was necessary to temporarily block the B173 near the Selbitz district of Wachholderbusch. There was also a so-called throttle drive on Autobahn 9. A pure safety measure that hardly lasts a minute, said Müller.
