Hi Leonard & others,

I was at Ansbach too later that day (around 14:30lt) on may way back home from a 2 week holiday in Italy. I have a few additions and a request.

The Chinooks and 2 Blackhawks (26577 & 26766) were logged by me from 49°18'44.74"N, 10°38'16.20"E and the remainder of the Blackhawks from
49°18'31.72"N, 10°39'8.70"E. From these Blackhawks mostly the last 3 where read because those are in white (apart from 2, see below).

95-26646 UH-60L 3-158AVN (the 26646 is a non-European based UH-60L l/n February 2015 at Corpus Christi. Is this a new addition, or a misread? The full serial was in black). I'm pretty sure it was 26646, but maybe, just maybe 20646, but that is a Mike model and not deployed to Europe AFAIK)

Your missing CH-47F seems to be 06-08030. 10-08805 was not logged by me. Where did you log it? It could of course have been on a mission.

Cheers,

hello Sjoerd,

exelent log !

we just missed you, we left at 1600hrs

we did the same spots but we discovered it was easier to read the Chinooks from the elevated field at; 49°18'57.56"N, 10°37'55.75"E

chinook 10-08805 was in the mail line near the hangars

the 574 is interesting, I read the same one in june 2014 at Ansbach... so maybe not a mistake?

Leonard

[Sjoerd]

Thanks Leonard. I was there in December 2013 too and noted 26674 as (26)674, indicating the last three were white. 26574 was last noted in 2012 with the 2-3AVN. Maybe someone can shed some light on this?

Also, no UH-60A's were noted by me nor any Medevacs. I assume these are all withdraw now.

On the 11th of June 8x UH-60L's & 2x CH-47F made a fuel stop at Fritzlar (possibly enroute to Bremerhafen leaving Germany back to the US). Among them was also 674 (last 3 confirmed in white!!). The latter is remarkable, suggesting that 26574 (see a few post above) could indeed have been in Germany after all!

I think you saw the very last UH-60L's in Germany!
All have now left back to CONUS and only 6 remain in Europe with KFOR in Kosovo.

Too bad indeed, however, for the number crunchers among us it may become more interesting, as the USAR(EUR) confirmed earlier that a rotational force of around 25 Blackhawks will be maintained in the European theater.

At this point I believe most, if not all, TDY 3rdCAB UH-60M's are scattered around Europe though and only the 6 or so HH-60M's being at Illesheim for now. Would love to know when those UH-60M's are back

CH-47F 06-08030 was seen yesterday at Nürnberg, so this might have been a crew ferry?
