Scramble Messageboard

C-5 test article X999. It's sat there for over 30 years.

Thanks for the log. 83-23981 should read 83-23891

As mentioned in EMOOS, this is thought to be a Sioux (identity unknown) in false Italian marks.

They’ve had it since Jan21 at least. It was indeed deployed to the Middle East for part of that time as you mentioned.
Hex is [AE6C55 20-03311]

Nice pictures.
21037 is from the WV-NG at Wheeling.

OK thanks. The reports in the Scramble database must therefore be incorrect.

This was WH/04 of VMFA-542 Aug23-Feb24.
Did it return to LM?

Very likely to be a VMM-163 machine I think:

Actually, I’m not convinced they have 30. That might be their establishment, but like a lot of units they are one or two short.
They only had 29 aircraft on strength last time they came to Europe.
They since took over 29 Fort Bliss machines.

Thanks for the extra one. AFAIK, 3-227th AVN only has five other UH-60Ms on strength: 07-20067 - ops Moldova Sep24 13-20573 - ops Adana Aug24 13-20588 - ops Adana Jul24 14-20648 - ops Adana Sep24 14-20651 - on ground Adana 1Sep24 (note that Fort Bliss based R20832 also uses this hex) So it seems tha...

I don't think UH-60M 10-20317 is correct.
This is a Fort Campbell aircraft, and it was still there on 6Aug24 according to ADSB:

Michiel,
Can you confirm the c/n you read (off the tail?) please?
84+13 should be V65-011.

So a total of 9 have left so far, yes?
R20379 is currently pinging on the ground (1147 Belgian time)

Looks like they are starting to leave Koksijde.
R20403 heading east, R20637 pinging on the ground.
