Too late to grab my scanner at home. Confirm it was flying as Army (and not Demon)? Thanks in advance!

ADS-B is showing R..... by all helicopters the last days although they have different callsigns. So just want to make sure it was indeed flying as Army. :wink:

Yes, I’m told they did engine flushes today.

any ideas what might be the reason for towing helicopters to the other side? Sheltering them in the hangars due to forecasted bad weather for the rest of the week?

All the towed aircraft were towed back at the end of the day in groups, maybe they expected arrivals and moved them seeing there were aircraft outside at Vlissingen and x1 blackhawk testrunned so moved them, there were no arrivals so they were moved back, tho it sounded 1-2x a blackhawk test runned on south, or the N-325

Then that indeed was the reason, over the day all the helicopters had their beacons on and covers removed, 3-6 tower over then for engine flushes
