Kleine-Brogel (EBBL) - 2012 MIL

[Bennie]

Italians passed by Bilzen 15 minutes ago. 2 Mangustas and Chinooks confirmed. Guess they have arrived in EBBL by now.

I1319A ATA 12:57LT, DEP from Hohn.

Strange routing! Are you sure it was Hohn, Otto?

Hmmm i see EI-306 on mine picture instead of 906. The other ones are correct.

Are you sure as Italian military aircraft are using IAM nowadays?

[Eric van Lisdonk]

Arrival callsign was Italian1319

[ebauer]

Arrival callsign was Italian1319

Thanks Eric!

I-1319 = India 1319 , because one of the two Mangustas have serial MM81319 .

Usually in this case you can hear "India xxxx plus 3" (the serial of one the helycopters plus the other 3 -
not mention the other 3 serials).

Italian Army cannot use I-AM callsign , because only Italian Air Force can use it .
I-AM = Italian - Aeronautica Millitare (Italian Air Force).
Hope to make clear - sorry for my english.

I already count 18 Choppers, but i heard something about RAF/Army "special" Lynx.
i miss the Austria Choppers and i miss NH90 any change that they will come?

[Kane]

Mainsail, I heard 2 days ago at the fence in KB that the German NH90's were cancelled. No information about the rest, though I thought that the Austrians were only a rumour ?

[Wim]

In most articles its mentioned 18 helicopters, so I think they have all arrived
