Three Apaches were left behind on one of the earlier occasions, by 6-17th CAV / 4th CAB:Sleegertje wrote:Nope, 1CAB left some Chinooks behind last time.Sjoerd wrote:jurgen wrote: As for the replacement theory, 1 CAB has left the European theatre last year (and is operating the AH-64E), so I think you mean the upcoming 101st CAB?

I was at Heijplaat / Roeiersvereniging De Eendracht on unrelated business on Tuesday and views from there towards the suggested landing docks is very difficult with business premises in between on the Heijplaatweg. The Hellouwstraat itself is portside, so not accessible to the general public.Humphrey Redskin wrote:Hi,
This port location has been used by Uniport (container terminal) which ceased operations earlier this year. So there should be space available. Helicopter operations are expected between June 30th and July 27th (at the address Zaltbommelweg 10, which is/was the office location of Uniport) . This could turn out to be a much more accessible location (i.e. much more visible) than the one used during the previous operations. Brings back memories of standing at the Eendracht Roeiers location at the Streefwaalseweg to observe the US Army helicopter ops in the Eemhaven (address Spekenburgweg) in 80's.
We will find out.

Erwin, in total four 'newer' 6-17th CAV AH-64Ds were swapped with four 'older' 1-3rd AVN Apaches. The 'newer' Apaches 5582, 5626, 7037 and 7038 should still be present with 1-3rd AVN.Three Apaches were left behind on one of the earlier occasions, by 6-17th CAV / 4th CAB:
5582
7037
7038
These arrived July 2018 in Bremerhaven and left January 2019

Sjoerd, can you confirm that the two 'extra' Apaches (7014 and 5543) actually wear 3rd CAB markings and indeed are new transfers? Or could it be that they just are returning back home to Germany after a joint exercise?EvD, you are correct, these are indeed former Ansbach machines, but showing 3rd CAB markings now! So could it be that 12th CAB/1-3 Avn is once again in the process of moving their "older" Apaches along with 3rd CAB's return to CONUS and finally obtaing newer E-models? Possibly 101st leaving (some) of them here?
So basically swapping 14 airframes with 1-3rd Avn and taking the oldest ones back to CONUS.closedloop01 wrote:Good Day all,
