Thanks for the heads-up, but they cancelled their fuelstop in Ostend and they filed a flightplan from Gütersloh via Antwerp to the UK instead of Eindhoven and Ostend

Heard arrving today at around 1430L was C/S FZWDU . A quick surf shows that this Eurocopter reg was allocated to a Mexican Navy EC725 in April (AMHT-230) . Maybe it's on delivery and will transfer to a ship ? It would be nice if local spotters could confirm whats happening.

A few months ago a Mexican Navy chopper visited the Hechtel range for some shooting trials.

Don't know if there is a connection...

The EC-725 has made an overnight at ostend on thursday, to depart on friday to Zeebrugge harbour to be shipped to Mexico. It was a delivery flight for the Mexican navy indeed
