At 13.30h a CH-53 came in (at saturday!), anyone logged this one (or from sbs?)?

This morning the choppers were getting ready for departure. A129 was fitted with
tanks again. So they should be on their way South again.

Hi,

Yesterday I was at Bentlage between 14.30 and 15.50hrs, no sign of the Italians, two should be out to the range. We saw one chopper from the back in the hangar (eastside hangar 7 or . Possible the CH-47C or was it a based CH-53 with folded tail? Hard to recognize..

Only CH-53G 84+39 was active....

Regards,

Maurits
