AGO Flugzeugwerke was a German aircraft manufacturing company from 1911 until 1945. The initials AGO had a variety of meanings during the company's lifetime, but in the its final version stood for Apparatebau GmbH Oschersleben. At its peak, the company employed around 4,500 people.
Foundation
AGO was founded in 1911 in Munich as Flugmaschinenwerke Gustav Otto by Gustav Otto and a Dr Alberti. Gustav, the son of Dr Nikolaus Otto – inventor of the four-stroke engine, was a pioneer aviator (pilot's licence No. 34) and engine-builder. As was usual in those days, a flying school was attached to the business – one of its later students was Ernst Udet.
The company's first successful aircraft under head designer, Gabriel Letsch, was an observation biplane with a pusher propeller that soon became the standard equipment of the Bayerischen Fliegertruppe. The machine was powered by a 75kW (100hp) engine of the firm's own design, branded Aviatiker Gustav Otto.
In 1912, a separate division was set up in Johannisthal under the name Ago Flugzeugwerke, with Elisabeth Woerner and Hermann Fremery as directors. After the outbreak of World War I, AGO built a series of military reconnaissance aircraft, beginning with the AGO C.I – a pusher-powered biplane designed by A. Haefeli. The most successful of AGO's wartime aircraft was the C.IV of 1916, of which 70 examples were built, but which proved unpopular with its pilots.

Qantas A330 arrives at EFW, Germany
Kangaroo Valley is in Dresden, Germany! With an experienced flight crew of five, this A330 aircraft of Qantas performed a special flight, which appears record breaking. On the ultra-long haul flight from Sydney to EFW the aircraft flew some 16.745 km in 20:04 hours nonstop, and arrived today in Dresden safely after a short stopover in Vienna.
The A330-200 had a slot in in our Hangar and is soon starting into its passenger-to-freighter conversion for a new life as a freighter.
This version of the A330 has additional fuel tanks in the area of the center wing box and compared to its brother, the A330-300, the aircraft can cover a wider range of around 12.500 km in standard operations when carrying passengers and freight.
