Serial 147666 of a Chinook doesn't exist. That's a fake serial chalked it up by some pranksters.

This airframe never flew and only used as i/a at Gilze Rijen.

According to a civilian guy, this Chinook flew in the Vietnam war. This Chinook will go this Monday on loader to Germany to a school because the Germans bought 60 Chinooks.

CH-147D 147204 is still on the airbase
F-16A J-202 was also seen today

Where is 147204 located? Inside a building I'm afraid?

The first one, the '666' indeed went there. I asked at Flugzeugforum whether 147204 also went there, let's wait and see.
