Hi all,
On 24-6-1984 I visited Ramstein Airshow where I saw two unidentified USAF H-53’s. I think one was parked somewhere on the opposite side of the runway, the other one was flying. According to my log a CH-53C from Sembach and an HH-53C from Woodbridge.
BAR has 70-1625 for the CH-53C
Scramble had 68-10924 for the CH-53C
Can anyone confirm which one was present at Ramstein on this day and maybe someone for the second one?
MTIA!
Paul

Re: REQ: Ramstein airshow 1984
An old Ian Allan Publication "Military Aircraft Markings 1984" has both 70-1625 and 68-10924 as being a CH-53C flying for 601 TCW. Couldn't it been just those two CH-53C in stead of a CH-53 and HH-53?

Hmm, i have 10924 in the book on the 24th at Ramstein (no picture, so not sure if it was flying or static), i noted 1625 the day after at Sembach, as far as i recall it was on the ground, so not arriving from Ramstein.

Hi!
1984 was only the beginning of my spotters career and therefor my documentations are rudimentary.
I visited Ramstein open house 1983, 1984 and 1985. Following the timeline, I have MH-53J (?) 70-1630, which
must have been noted in 1984. It had numerous flags and a noseart under the right cockpit window.
Maybe that helps.
Cheers
Tommy
