When did 11-20408 arrive and where is it parked please?

It arrived today. It is parked on the ramp closest to the aeroclub. I believe 2nd in line, nose towards the runway. Easy to read.

[woelfie]

Thanks! Do you happen to know the ATA?

[CJ]

3 + 6 H-60s took off.
Got sent away at the aeroclub.

[AndyMarden]

So a total of 9 have left so far, yes?
R20379 is currently pinging on the ground (1147 Belgian time)

[CJ]

Andy, yes.
Just now 3more H-60s + 1 AH-64 left.

[wittemuizen]

Is it possible to view the helicopters this weekend? Any troubles with police? Many thanks in advance for the situation over there.

[Erik-Jan Engelen]

Are the tailnumbers known of the three flights which flew from Koksijde to Spangdahlem today?

[CJ]

Was there from 10 till about 15:30; no activities at that time. Guards on base near the aeroclub were being nasty and called the police who requested us to move from old abbey / restaurant parking lot right after the first 3 H-60s leaving.
This is what I noted (from pics):
First 3 HH-60M:
11-20403 last 3 in red cross
12-20499 last 3 in red cross
13-20614 NO last 3

Second wave of 3 (UH-60Ms):
13-20637
07-20050
08-20148

Third wave of 3 UH-60s, immediately behind 2nd wave:
No numbers.., either hidden by hor. stabilizer or straight over my head.

Last wave, UH-60Ms + Apache
11-20379 last 3 in red cross
14-20681 Not sure. NO last 3 in red cross
13-20610 last 3 in red cross
16-03103

Word by the fence was that the second batch of helicopters would start arriving here as from Monday June 17. I can't judge this, time will tell.

[GIPS]

Second batch as in next ones inbound? Or the outbounds?

[CJ]

Gijs, I meant inbound helos.
Sorry for misunderstanding.
