Volgens mij hebben die VH-60 crew en monteurs ook niet een al te goede nachtrust gehad , met 12 uurtjes onderweg
Denk dat ze aan hun vlieguren zitten op één dag

As the helicopter name is White Hawk, that could be his callsign as well.

Will they all stay at Rdam for NSS or relocate to Valkenburg or Schiphol?

Although no official word on this, but considering all the equipment that has been brought with the choppers, my guess is they will stay at RTM.

Probaply relocate to SPL short before arrival of POTUS (maybe sunday evening) : All police helicopters will be stationed at Valkenburg , AND the fences near the police hangars at SPL are covered.
Just my thoughts

They will probably stay at RTM since there's a hangar which they (can) use
Just my thought

Hangar 32 at Schiphol is usually empty... and there don't seem to be many Orions hanging around at Valkenburg these days......
Anything is (or can be made) possible!!

Ze zetten zwarte hekken neer. Zo kunnen de spotters niets meer zien en dus bij eventueel onraad niet meer bijtijds de hulpdiensten alarmeren. Foutje !

Yes, all 6 US Army Blackhawks are parked outside in a 1-2-3 formation. Both VH-60's are parked inside.
