Drachten (EHDR) - 2022 MIL

[dinovandoorn]

de geruchten machine draait zo te lezen weer op volle toeren
Iemand al wat ideetjes voor komende donderdag want dan is er een aanval op het vliegveld drachten en in de middag een aanval op de prikkedam crossbaan zover ik weet

[Key]

Verdere overwegingen staan nu in een nieuw topic, hou deze voor daadwerkelijke info aub.

Dank,
Erik

Looks like theyve landed east of Drachten, border between Fryslan and Groningen

Just now at least 4 helicopters did another "rondje Drachten" pass, only 1 CH-47 showed ADSB

S-444 has a 25yrs cougar sticker

For tomorrow, a soldier from 11LMB said the pickup begins at 10, and ends at 12 so the NOTAM was true

Maybe I missed it, but is the airport the pickup spot, and can you get there or are the roads closed?

Provided the airport is the pick up point, point your satnav to the Teslalaan in Drachten. This gets you to the south of the runway.

Maybe oftopic but how is the view there, looks like a lot of bushes

[lievers-online]

(very) Limit view unfortunately at the Teslalaan, actually a small area with no trees but you might be able to take some shots on arrival / departure over the tree line actually the wind direction might be favorable tomorrow for that spot, good luck

Hopefully they indeed choose that side for landing, for take off it'll suck then, although the assigned landing spots for the chinooks for at least pickup are right next to the bushes and you still can get amazing pictures from the helicopters even tho the grown bushline may be in the way sometimes

Yes, they've boarded the troops and de-boarded them on the field today as well, 11LMB also said today that indeed the airport is the pickup spot seeing it's in friendly hands now, a mechanized brigade will secure the LZ while 11LMB and Polish troops go back to base trough an heli airbridge, first wave arrives around 10, last around 12
