This afternoon (21-10-2019) rain and dark clouds over Chièvres, so unfortunately no serials. New arrivals or local flight around 15:15LT were 1x AH-64 and a bit later 1x UH-60 & 1x AH-64. Around 16:00LT I counted a total of 24x UH-60 & 7x AH-64 on the old X-runway plus 4x CH-47 on the adjace...

ARC Endurance is moored at centre 51.31594 3.22572

Also on 16-10-2019 Spang F-16s observed on ADS-B, so it seems the grounding comes to an end.
Humorous detail... callsigns "RISKY"

9th flight just passed over Geldrop at 18.01 R08467
15-08467 CH-47F
15-08195 CH-47F
12-20451 UH-60M

Can 15-08195 be 15-08194 as 15-08195 has been reported last friday?

Agree, 08195 was in the 11-10 list.
The only CH-47 still missing from the February Zeebrugge list would be 08194.

Seen on ADS-B this morning (11-10-2019@09:00LT) CH-47F 14-08168 c/s R08168 landing at Wiesbaden.
Also @ 09:15LT HH-60M 08-20160 c/s R20160 airborne from Ansbach heading west.
These are both 1 CAB a/c that arrived through Zeebrugge last February.
Seems the move is starting...

Are Fridays on these and other airbases still as bad as the used to be? Only a morning mission and then Feierabend?
