Another question if I may: I noticed most choppers carry markings (mostly the striped shield of 3 CAB), but not all, can somebody confirm whether 20357, 20360, 20417 and 20450 do? Those were the last flight of today that bypassed Eindhoven, of 20358 I found a recent picture but not of the rest....

Ik zou zeggen: kom maar door met foto's / video's Waalhaven..(staan er ook nog Koolhovens daar ?)..

Can we expect any additional movements over the weekend?

No, nothing is coming from ETIK before monday!

One small unit remark on the Apaches; it is unknown to which individual Company they belong.
A Company normally consists of eight helicopters.

Therefore these AH-64Ds can best be referred to as 3-17th CAV.

Goodmorning

Thank you all for posting logs and information here. Really appreciated it.

Had a good couple of days in the Rotterdam harbour. Thursday we didnt have so much luck with the weather. Clouds appeared just at the moment we didnt need them but Friday was a lot better. Happy with the results: https://www.facebook.com/pg/franknoortnl/ for the album


Couple of days ago i uploaded a map with possible spots to take pictures. Now we have driven around here, we know a bit more. Here is the update. The maps shows which picture is taken where.



Hope it helps!

[JPS]

On the first day of 3CAB arrivals in the port (Wednesday 1-7) 3 Apaches landed, I only have a picture in storage from the South (spot 1) but I can't fully identify the registrations on the photo.

Can anybody help me with the tie up of the serials?

From what I can see from the picture this should be the right tie up, stored from East to West on Wednesday evening:

07-05518 (cone shaped rotor cap)
04-05426 (no rotor cap)
05-07010 (circular shaped rotor cap and folded rotors)

Many thanks for your help.

by the way this is an excellent thread, I think one of the best documented CAB deployments
