12-20502 appears to be the sole missing HH-60M (currently flying in Romania as Cross47). This is both a type and unit update to the Scramble DB.

Another new adsb sighting, this time UH-60M 07-20053 which went into Budapest today after departing Timisoara (RO); https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae47f2

2 more UH-60M's to go!

[AndyMarden]

I don't think UH-60M 10-20317 is correct.
This is a Fort Campbell aircraft, and it was still there on 6Aug24 according to ADSB:

Thanks for the input Andy! I cannot find back any details which made me report it in the first place. Typo perhaps?!

Anyhow, I listed it as such and in the meantime another "unknown" one popped up on adsb today; 07-20060.

[AndyMarden]

Thanks for the extra one.
AFAIK, 3-227th AVN only has five other UH-60Ms on strength:
07-20067 - ops Moldova Sep24
13-20573 - ops Adana Aug24
13-20588 - ops Adana Jul24
14-20648 - ops Adana Sep24
14-20651 - on ground Adana 1Sep24 (note that Fort Bliss based R20832 also uses this hex)
So it seems that all 29 known aircraft are deployed

Good finds! 11 had been discharged in Belgium and I saw a video of 16 at Thessaloniki (3 being HH-60'S). So only 24 in mainland Europe and 5 airlifted to Turkiye.

Overview updated and all complete now!

20067 was also over Romania.
Likely it was inbound through Thessaloniki also!
I think you photo of Thessaloniki does not cover the whole lot.
The unit has 30x UH-60M, so probably one unknown to find...

[AndyMarden]

Actually, I’m not convinced they have 30. That might be their establishment, but like a lot of units they are one or two short.
They only had 29 aircraft on strength last time they came to Europe.
They since took over 29 Fort Bliss machines.

[Sjoerd]

To confirm/ruin the above assumptions, we have another Blackhawk in theatre; https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae4812

Showing as 07-20069 (also R20069 callsign) flying from Ostrava today. So likely the usual amount of Blackhawks was brought along. I will update the overview with the 20067/20069 as they do seem to operate within the Europe (not Asia).
