Europe 2019: US Army 1st CAB, 1st Infantry Div. helicopters

[Atlas400]

Looks like today's NOTAM was created just for C40 SPAR80 from ETAR

Thank you for the update on the helicopters' situation

[Rabbit]

Anyone heading that direction today (Zeebrugge or Chievres)?

Zie je PM.

Hi, Can anyone confirm whether any of these helos have been unloaded or assembled yet, please?

Does anyone know when they might be flown to Chièvres, please, if that is in fact their first destination?

MTIA for any info

David

USAr officials have daid that the helo’s would arrive the 29th in Zeebrugge. We know that isn’t true, because they are already there. But maybe the will unload them tuesday?

[dinovandoorn]

When the same compound will be used to park the choppers after unloading, then the ship is currently still at the wrong location !
I expect the ship will be moved (maybe tomorrow) to the end of the harbor... then we can expect some action by the helo's as well. (all my own interpretation)

Thank you Jeroen & Dino

Kaai 516 is indeed the southern end of Zeebrugge port, so same location as last time.

Anybody with some info if the containers on the waterside of the compound are one or two containers high ?
On the land side most likely two containers high as the years before...

[SG Woensdrecht]

Last time the wall on the waterside was also 2 containers high.

No not at all ! from the road are no options, only when they fly overhead... these pictures are mostly made from some sand dunes in the area and i am not sure it is accepted by the local police.
I was lucky last year during the WK semi soccer finals:-)

There is a wall of containers placed around the site. The wall is 2 containers high. In 2017 the same construction was there and nothing could be seen from the sand hills.
