Heli's staan op de dwarsbaan, (vrijwel) alles van buiten te zien. Vergeet niet kop RWY10 voor de Eurofighters.

The Spanish A400 crew were going to run out of hours if not airborne by 16:30 UTC, and this was unlikely to happen, so the crew decided on a night stop.

Swedish Blackhawk was callsign 'SWEEDFOR 322', not 'SVF 4332'. Don't ask me why they didn't say 'SweedForce', it was quite confusing this way, also for Gilze tower.

FYI: the Aeronavale NH90 lifted off from runway 02 and I saw it do some work on runway 10 at 1815LT. Rain started to poor at that time, so made my way home. A friend of mine did not see it anywhere around the base when he did his round just now… So, anyone a clue where it is?
