Chièvres (EBCV) 2021 (MIL)

[Le Addeur noir]

Chièvres should see 3 DUKE UH-60Ms fuel stop en route to Mildenhall today (13th April) in the early afternoon.

Any idea about the serials and formation?

Yep,

15-20741 DUKE03 (lead) initially planned as DUKE98
10-20311 DUKE65 initially
15-20754 DUKE03 initially

However, these arrived at Mildenhall as DUKE03 Flt. Serials have been confirmed in the UK.

It is likely these will be returning to Wiesbaden on the 16th from Mildenhall.

And they're again enroute. From MHZ now above the Nordsea, no idea but most likely again refueling at EBCV

[NEMO24]

16-5856 HKY74 and 08-8602 HKY73 are enroute to Chièvres. HKY74 now on 8.000ft above Herentals an HKY73 32.000ft following with some delay now above German-Dutch border. Within aprox 7 minutes 16-5856 is at EBCV.

Two other ones from Ramstein 86th sq arrived earlier this evening. Numbers unknown.
Is there some reason for such a gathering ?
Helicopters about to transit through Chievres ?

I think these are 07-8614 and 16-5840. All four flew today to Lakenheath and then to Poland for an exercise of LN F-15’s there. Why they landed at Chievres is unknown to me

The 86th AW will operate out of Chièvres AB, Belgium, to disperse, organize and generate airlift for the ACE event
