Hi all,

Besides the arrival of the helicopters, has anyone seen them flying yet? There are no reports here or on Flugzeugforum.

Yes, they fly twice daily on the average, 11:00 -13:00ish, 15:00-16:30ish, F-16´s are back from Kadena so local ops are stepping up again as well, generally also 2 tankers do their rounds in the north or east ao´s ,but sometimes they do local training and t/g´s etc.

How are the heliicopters usually approaching? Via the runway, long approach or do they make short circuit?

Thanks
