Post by Thijs »

Are the Vera and Dynamica the only one which can carry choppers? and are they from the same operator?

Looks like we have to improve or ship spotting capabilities ;-)

The Vera and Dynamica are two roro ships of the same company. They are capable of unloading helicopters near Lampertheim.

I've seen at least one shipment with Blackhawks from Bremerhafen which was done by a normal Rhineship.

They will leave for training (US+Germany) on January 6th.
I guess this means we can expect the helicopters early February in Europe.

Ecm
Detachment 1, Co. C, 169th Aviation (Medical) of the Pennsylvania National Guard is also involved. Their helicopters were still in the US end of January.
So we have to be hopefull, but it could be they will not change helicopters this time and the current material used will stay in Kosovo.

Ship with helicopters - 2011

Post by SWAT 11 »

Hallo allemaal,

Vandaag zijn in Antwerpen 12 CH-47F’jes aangekomen voor de USAREUR.
Vanmorgen is de Courage van ARC afgemeerd in de haven van Antwerpen, en is vanmiddag gelost.
In volgorde zoals de Chinooks van de boot zijn gekomen;

07-08744
09-08072
09-08071
09-08070
07-08745
08-08750
07-08748
09-08073
08-08751
07-08747
08-08749
07-08746

Zes van bovenstaande verdwenen in de hangaar op het overslag terrein, en zes werden op de Dynamica geladen voor verscheping richting Duitland.
De zes die binnen zijn gezet zijn de; 746, 747, 748, 749, 751 en de 073.
De overige zes staan op de Dynamica in de volgende volgorde zoals het plaatje aangeeft.

De Dynamica is om 16:20u vertrokken in de Antwerpse haven, dus doe je voordeel.

Happy hunting!

Via deze site kun je hem tracken: http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/nl/def ... evel0=100#

Hij is nu net voor de sluizen bij Kruiningen/Hansweert.
Ze varen anders dan gebruikelijk, je kunt links op de bovenstaande site de dynamica aanvinken.....

Succes!

Ja, deze tracker kende ik en heb ik even terug gehaald uit eerdere postings.
Volgens mijn berekeningen vaart het schip zo'n 10 km per uur en verwacht ik het morgenvroeg tegen 08:00 bij Nijmegen.

As already indicated we can expect them around 8 at Nijmegen. I've tracked these transports in the past and 8 in the morning at Nijmegen sounds plausible. So they will take the route along the river Waal. Best is to set your alarmclock and check this link: http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shipde ... =244670236 and click on the latitude/longitude link. There you'll find the current position.

Is bekend wanneer de andere 6 die kant op gaan? Met dezelfde schuit of pikt deze weer heli's van Coleman op voor een terugtocht naar de US?

Groet,

Maurits

A.s. maandag vind weer een zelfde transport plaats van Antwerpen naar Lampertheim (Coleman). Ik heb geen informatie over heli's terug. Wat ik wel weet is dat slechts de helft van de huidige CH-47D's eind vorig jaar zijn teruggekomen via Ramstein uit de Golf regio. Dus het ligt voor de hand dat eerst de nieuwe CH-47F's operationeel moeten zijn voordat de oude terug gaan. Dit zal dan ook wel weer via Coleman plaatsvinden omdat dit het goedkoopst is qua transport kosten.

groet,
Jeroen

Gegroet,

Lang leve die geweldige boten-SBS! :-) Ik pakte ze vanochtend bij Ewijk waar ik op dat tijdstip toevallig net in de buurt was!

Heeft het hier iets mee te maken:

The Air Force is using two C-5B and two C-5M transports operating out of Western Europe to help US Transportation Command move Army helicopters into Afghanistan and bring others back to the United States. The C-5s will haul more than 170 helicopters during this operation, including CH-47 Chinooks, UH-60 Black Hawks, and OH-58 Kiowas, according to Air Mobility Command officials at Scott AFB, Ill. Commercial ships are carrying 159th Combat Aviation Brigade helicopters to Western Europe for loading onto the C-5s, which then fly them directly into Afghanistan. The C-5s are bringing back 101st Combat Aviation Brigade helos to Europe for loading on the ships for the trip back to the United States. The four C-5 are assigned to the 436th Airlift Wing at Dover AFB, Del.

Dit was een berichtje op NAMAR op 7 maart.

Groeten, Paul

Dear Paul,

Those helo's we're flown from Rota to Afghanistan. I think most have arrived already. These Chinooks are new additions to the USAREUR.

Cheers,
-Good intell, allows for good decision making!-
