Dump:

But according to the Scramble Orbat, the CH-53GS subtype of HSG64 is still operating out of Bentlage till it closes in 2017. The GA's of HSG64 operate out of Holzdorf, while Laupheim has a mix of both types.

Bentlage houses still ca.2 CH-53s for overhaul.
October 1st I spotted 84+91 in Hall 8.
Mostly they are in this hall and visible through windows (read on nose).
The Lehrwerkstatt houses still some nice ones, but is mostly closed.
