Just checked; four stil present, so this first flight must have been 8197, 8198, 8466 and 8467.

12:03LT R20869 3x HH-60 overflying the base from east to west, returning to WDT
12:09LT R08182 4x CH-47 south of Gilze, but I guess they were able to spot from the base as well (anyone able to confirm?)

It was towed to the north-side this morning.
I believe it was 26706.

Only the 94-26555 and 96-26706 were present today.
Since the departing UH60 used callsign 9426555 i guess the 96-26706 is till on base.

At 14:30LT 2 Dutch CH-47F's were on the hot-refueling ramp. Could somebody confirm that these were: D-481 and D-602??
