RETURNING to USA..: US Army 4th CAB,4th Infantry Div. heli's

[JPS]

Endurance is entering the Channel with ETA Port of Rotterdam noon 20 June 2018. Assuming the timeline from previous posts: "Het lossen, het vliegklaar maken van de heli’s en het op transport stellen van het overige materieel neemt twee tot drie dagen in beslag, de vliegoperatie vijf tot zeven dagen.", it is likely that flying will start end of this week or early next week.

On the website for Rotterdam Ship arrivals is now the Endurance with arrival on 20-06 at 14:55 and going to Scheur Steinweg kade 3.

They were busy offloading when we arrived and still busy when we left so that could very well be, and most likely a number of others will have been offloaded too, but my report only reflects only the ones that we have seen ourselves and there were none seen that could not be read...

Ruud could you share from where you were able to read the serials, I tried the location next to the gate but was unable to see over the green fence.

You had the same issue as I when I arrived, but sometimes you see things a little better from a distance

I was standing on a cycle path close to the canal (there is even a small parking spot close to the water), next to the Gerbrandyweg, accross the road from AVR Afvalverwerking, there you could/can see the helicopters being hauled onto the loading ramp.

Are the first still expected in Eindhoven today?

[JPS]

Great location Ruud, thanks for sharing! No activity this morning, although ramp is still down.

Great location Ruud, thanks for sharing! No activity this morning, although ramp is still down.

are you able to see all the choppers currently at the kade from the park on the opposite of the water ? or do you mention the offload where all serials have been read ?
All choppers have been offloaded already last night and at 23:45 the job was done...

[jurgen]

I have no idea about the viewing situation, but ... some of the choppers are put inside the warehouses. So not everything is visible:
