Is the information about the H-3s correct? There is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWxYsec-vR0 on YouTube showing steps being unloaded from 07-7186. Also, at Baldonnel C17s have carried only one VH-3 at a time.

The information is wrong and you are correct. My contact mixed his days and types up as a VH60 arrived today, 8th. A C5 had been planned to visit but in the end didn't.

Thanks and regards.

Steve.

Thanks for that. Hard to keep track of all the multiple movements north and south!
