The missing C-12R is 403, one of your missing Hueys should be 694 ( we were there the 27th late afternoon).

Hi Rob,

We were there late afternoon as well and saw also the following Chinooks:
CH-47D EΣ 930 4 TEAS
CH-47D EΣ 923 4 TEAS

We have the following two hueys in addition to your log, both parkedd next to eachother, and visible from the hill with the church:
UH-1H EΣ 62. 2 TEAS, behind trees
UH-1H EΣ 624 2 TEAS, partially behind trees

@ Rob, Where was UH-1H EΣ 812 located?
@ Michel N, Where was UH-1H EΣ 694 located?

We didn’t go uphill due limited time, we’ve read this Huey from the road near the main gate, so they should be the first in the Huey line. Also some Chinooks and NH90 read from that position

I'm sorry, can't help you on the exact location of the ES812. This one was not read by ourselves. So not sure...

Thanks both.
ES812 was not noted by us, so really not sure if it was there, unless it is the one that was fully obstructed by the trees when looking from the hill.

We’ve been there Sunday and Wednesday, both times we didn’t see ES812.
Wednesday the line of Hueys consisted of
616, 604, 694, 624, 692, 695, 638.
Although I’m not 100% sure of the order of appearance, I think 694 was the one obscured by the trees, we’ve read this one from another position.

I agree with you Michel, we missed 694 westbound Tuesday but read it off eastbound Friday where it was parked by a hangar, in front of 692. Looking at my picture, beyond 692 is a Huey nose, it's possible we didn't see enough of that one to read it.
Chinook question, I have a shot of three, (from W to E) 929, 927 & oil stain. Any thoughts on that one?
Can't confirm NH90 888 (we read off 848 but no photo-proof so a ?)

We’ve read 888 both on Sunday and Wednesday.

I do have photo proof for the ES888 if needed.

I will ask where ES812 was seen.... if not convinced I will remove it from the log.

Best regards Rob.

The oil stain Chinook next to ES 929 and ES 927 was ES 905.
