1st CAB taking over from 3rd CAB (11th AB rotation Atlantic Resolve)

[patrick dirksen]

The missing AH-64 that arrived at Woensdrecht yesterday (Thursday) is 16-03111 according to the Woensdrecht forum. At least that one was read off from the fence as present, between the H-60s that also arived Thursday afternoon.

Does someone, anyone, have a nice pic taken from the port (left) side of this helicopter in order to confirm there are bars too on that side at the same place? would be nice to clearify.

"HH-60M US Army 08-20165 badge 1st and 2 matt black horizontal bars (stripes) / white serial, in front of the winch and inlet part."

"16-03086 via Vlissingen [xx stripe on tail]"

This one was read by Martin Uleman as 16-03084... Needs comfirmation!!

16-03086 is a 1-101 AVN bird...

I guess it is better to make an overview with confirmed serials in stead of guessing all the times.
It is the third of fourth time today a faulty Apache serial in mentioned in the MB.

[EvD]

Ignoring the rest, the order of the fifteen Apaches from west to east:

63114
73190
73119
73162
73181
41015
63115
_3157

<gap where the five Chinooks were>

62113
___17 (should be 41017)
___16 (should be 63116)
63111
83203
_3191
73182

I don't like your tone. Mistakes are sometimes made (and corrected if adressed). These aren't the easiest machines to read off, especially the black part of the serial in these conditions. You can also send me a PM. I'm simply doing my best here Rob.

Those are indeed correct, also in that same order.

[Marijn]

73191 has 1 stripe and not 2 I think.
Who can confirm?

LH side = 1 stripe. I was told however 2 stripes upon landing (RH side, as they stood 07)!?

I understand you are dependent on what the guys along the fence are 'guessing'/reading.
And I really do appreciate the work you are doing by making the overview as complete as possible. Keep up the work...

[CJ]

Sjoerd, et alia, many thanks for your comprehensive overview.
Couple of UH-60L observations:
93-26495 actually shows 'BALLARD' on the forward starboard side on my pictures.
90-26260 has 'YEARY' titles on the forward starboard side.
Cheers.

[Glidepath]

495 has Ballard? well, can't tell for 100%, but I can go for that.

[Sjoerd]

Cheers guys!

Meanwhile R20303 is enroute from Greece towards Germany. Another HH-60M for the list.

Thanks for the confirmation! Two typos, I presume:
62113 should read 63113
63116 should read 73116
