Despite the high expectations for Monday, I could only make it to Eindhoven on the Tuesday. Luckily this proved to be the best day in the end number wise. All of the expected 35 helicopters of the Screaming Eagles could be eyeballed during this day. Weatherwise it was kind of a challenge with a chilling wind, low light and increasing drizzle as the day progressed. But all in all it was a great day out and I enjoyed the banter.
1) The day started of with a pair of Belgian helo's though, that came by nicely in front of the P4 parking garage. Both dropped of some passengers and picked them up later that day!

3) Around 10AM the first of many helicopters departed to the harbour

7) During this rotation, just four CH-47F's were deployed from Fort Cambell, KY. Only three returned back to their homebase, leaving one new addition for the 12th CAB at Ansbach.
