Vliegbasis Deelen 2018

[Worldnis]

Anyone able to confirm the c/n's of the NH90s??
For some reason the HEER changed some of the serials in the past. Which results in a wrong/incomplete scramble database.

I read the follow on the tails:
78+36 -> TGEA0036 ?
78+37 -> TGEA0037
78+39 -> TGEA0039
79+02 -> GAF009
79+10 -> .........
79+15 -> TGEA. . . .

This is all I could read. But this is only a part of the full c/n.

Best regards Rob

As 79+11 -> GAF018 (photoproof Airpower16 Zeltweg by myself), I figure 79+10 should be GAF017

Geert

79+15 -> TGEE 015 - was on static display during VIP day, looked like the last two digits were re-applied later

[EvD]

78+36 and 79+15 were towed to the flightline around 10 o clock making a total of eight NH-90's

So, can anyone confirm these two are visible today (Sunday)?

Seen this afternoon 07-10-2018 around 14:00, 78+23 78+36 79+02 79+10 79+11 79+15. All six together, plus 2 Apaches on the far end. No idea were to look for the other 2 Germans, so no clue if they were visible.

[EvD]

Okay, thanks!
From the perspective you describe, the two Apaches were Q-29 and Q-25.

Note that the Apaches and the callsigns were taken from ADSB! There was a VIP day today and the helicopters above did a demo over the field (except 78+23 and 78+39 which flew a mission later in the afternoon). Relaxed atmosphere with no hassle whatsoever. I guess that the Germans are getting used to our presence by now... And I am not going to make any easy jokes!

Great exercise and the participation of the NH90s is great!

79+02 had a THR30 badge.

Was on the field with the press (next to the bobo's). The 'big' landing was 78+37, 79+02, 79+10, 79+11, D-101, D-103, D-665, D-667 supported by Q-04, Q-05, Q-26.
2 NH-90's left arond 14:20, taxied to the south part of the runway and then flew around the east site of the airfield to the north. These should be thw 78+23 and 78+39.

Seen this afternoon 07-10-2018 around 14:00, 78+23 78+36 79+02 79+10 79+11 79+15. All six together, plus 2 Apaches on the far end. No idea were to look for the other 2 Germans, so no clue if they were visible.

Hmm..was there around 1530 and all 8 NH90s were on the dispersals..

From the road towards Deelen 6 apaches were visible. No time to check them.
Saw 7 serials from last week.
Anyone knows which 6 were visible? Was there even a 7th?

[Richard de Florennes]

Thanks very much for the additions/corrections!

Anyone an idea when the Germans will return to the Heimat?

Cheers,

[nilsko]

Exercise is planned until the 11th of October so I'll guess they'll return on Friday?

[Zonan]

I'm going to Deelen today, where can I go the best?
I'm guessing the museum is the best spot for today, but I'm not sure

On Twitter DHC confirms the KLU participation to leave home to Gilze tomorrow. Nothing though on the Germans!
