3rd CAB helicopters outbound Europe

[JPS]

Time for an updated overview, with just 2 helicopters stuck at Illesheim and the remainder in the port now. I tried to add as much visual identification marks as possible for the "unlucky" ones that were not able to witness their arrival yet and might try their luck in the port the next few days/weeks. Feel free to send me further identifying details so I can update the list, especially from the ones arriving today as I haven't had the chance to witness it from up close.

Happy hunting!

[Sjoerd]

thanks JPS & closedloop for the additions. I assume the ones in Turkey have been airlifted there and will head back the same way? I left them out of this overview, as they probably never attended on this side (Europe). I updated the overview on page24.

[JPS]

ETAD 07-07-2020: Apparently an AH-64D has just landed here on its way from Illesheim to Eindhoven or direct to Rotterdam.

Most of the time they skip Eindhoven if they make a fuel stop on Spangdahlem.

[GIPS]

Also the final one has left Illisheim. UH-60M 20389

[Polleke_NL]

Any clue already when the Endurance is expected to start loading this equipment?

'ArmyCopter3595' is calling into Eindhoven Approach, goes directly to Rotterdam.

overhead boxtel 1601 AH-64

Any clue already when the Endurance is expected to start loading this equipment?

It is now arriving in la Rochelle and then to Greece and back to Rotterdam. Maybe somewhere next week?
