Wiesbaden (ETOU/WIE) - 2013 MIL

[Sjoerd]

After yesterdays hunt for the vessel Dynamica near Mannheim (with those Apaches), we went on to Ramstein and Wiesbaden. Due to the recent arrival of several "new" RC-12X aircraft and the move the Blackhawks from Coleman to this place.

It was good to see the full ramps again upon arrival at around 4pm. The weather was great, perfect for taking pictures of the circuit bashing (R)C-12's and UH-60's. Here's what we logged in the next 1,5 hour before the sun went under.

xx-xxxxx UH-60A A/1-214th Avn arr. at 17:20lt (no tanks)
8x UH-60A A/1-214th Avn on ramp

Maybe someone can fill in some gaps? We also noted several UH-60 carrying towned down markings, probably of this unit. Something I had never noted before.

Many thanks to Charles for the good company!

Sjoerd,

Thank you for being "the BOB" and letting me get some zzzzzzzzzzz's
You are missing C-12U 84-00156 that was on the ramp together with the 00162 on our arrival.

Regards,
Charles

@ Maurits, thanks for your help!
However I don't fully thrust SBS, but if they are correct I don't need them anyway.

@Charles
No problem, it was my pleasure. I hope your jetlag is over now.
Thanks for the addition, I already thought I'd missed one.

I've also updated the correct units now.

I saw UH-60 26138 at Landstuhl on the 27/07/13 so probably a 1-214th machine!
