We are not sure of the C-17 07-7185, this could also be 07-71783 it was parked at hot cargo so if someone can help us out here.
About the helos... when we arrived at kindsbach hill at 12.00 only one blackhawk and one chinook were parked in front of the hangar, when we had another look from that point around 15.30 the hangar was opened up and an extra blackhawk had been parked at the platform. Inside the hangar two extra chinooks and two extra blackhawks were clearly visible. The chinooks wore a white batch with a black mark in it on the nose, so same ones as yesterday.The weather was too foggy to read them off. So if someone have more details (or serials) please help us out.
