Lots of choppers through here today. Six US Army CH-46s departed together in the morning, following which came in nine Apaches. These departed later. Then, in the afternoon another CH-46 left along with nine Blackhawks. Unfortunately I couldn't identify any of them due to them being too distant !

Turns out it was the following...

6 x CH.47 departed. One later returned (this one left with the Blackhawks later), and another one of them made an Emergency Landing in a field:

8 x Apaches and 1 x Blackhawk arrived and then departed I guess after a Fuel stop.

9 x Blackhawks and the CH-47 departed together in the afternoon (did not see these arrive). Hopefully they will all have been identified somewhere en-route to their final destination !

One was 15-08177

Also, yesterday (Tuesday) another CH-47 arrived at 1523. Don't kow if it was the one that had the Emergency Landing.

I don't see 14-09462 in the Database. Maybe it was 14-08462 ?

The Apaches and Chinooks were seen in the morning at Illesheim.
Also noted here were Chinooks 08175, 08181, 08183 and 08463
Your 3 Chinooks are likely from this group.
