From what spot on the scramble airfield guide you can have a look on the helicopters

From spot 1 you can see all helicopters parked in a row. All of them are facing southwest.

Fokker side.

They are parked on the 131 EMVO side.

Iene, miene, mutte.....?

Believe me it’s the EMVO side. Or they have magically changed position after I left at 17:00 or so

It’s the 07 side so that’s the fokker side if that’s what people ask?

Thx for the fast and clear answer

Most of the above formations I can confirm but can you confirm 20864 in the first formation?? In mine notes from Vlissingen I have HH-60M 08-20864 departing at 14:29LT together with 26817, 26575 and 26828.

Looking from the 25 runway they are righthand side of the runway. Which is why I say EMVO side

Hi Eric. Are you sure? 16-20864 was seen at WOE in the first formation.

Maybe somebody at the fence at the 07 side photographed the first 2 Blackhawks?? These are the first 2 parked on the taxitrack. Number1 is 861 number 2 is 26565 if i'm correct??

No not correct. The first 2 are HH-60M's.

Thanks for the confirmation!! I mixed some things up I see. 26565 was the leader in the UH-60L formation indeed.

All H64s and H60s filed seperate flightplans.

The H60s all used R- follewed by the last five digits of the serial. So R20861.
The H64s all used R- followed by last digit of FY and last four digits of the serial. So R43030.

The H47s filed as two formations.
R08182A 182
R08182B 177
R08182C 180
R08182D 183

So to put this at rest once and for all: they are at the NW side of the base. Which is north of the runway, so some say the 131 EMVO side, and it is the west side of base, so some say at the Fokker side....

And now the million dollar question is: when will they move on towards Germany? Pretty soon I'm afraid?
