How long you stay near Eindhoven?

Post by **slogen51** » Sun Oct 13, 2019 7:58 pm

Probably until Thursday - I don't have a return ticket

18:39L Army 73169 flight of four AH-64E inbound
On the deck at 18:55 : 17-03169, 3166, 3163, 3174

That should be it for Eindhoven.

That should bring the total transits through Eindhoven to Rotterdam to 57 helicopters (where are the other 18 UH-60?)

I haven't actually verified the total of 57 myself as I wasn't here on Friday for the first wave but it was all still here on Monday .
Pretty sure more arrived than departed.

CAB rotations in Afghanistan were also a complete rotation of aircraft. Long logistics tail, but the aircraft were looking tired tbh.

Post by **slogen51** » Tue Oct 15, 2019 7:42 am

Tuesday morning at Eindhoven I think there are 38 helicopters on the deck :
East ramp :
UH-60 : 3
CH-47 : 2
AH-64 : 4
__
9

West ramp
UH-60 : 12
CH-47 : 6
AH-64: 11
____
29

West hangar
AH-64: 1. ( I noticed 3151 being towed late Tuesday afternoon)
____
1

======
39

30 helicopters arrived during Monday :- 12 AH-64E , 12 UH-60, 6 CH-47F
Plus the 27 that were already here (12 AH-64, 9* UH-60, 6 CH-47F)
= 57 choppers through Eindhoven by my reckoning

*Scramble reported there were 8 UH-60 over the weekend but it think it must of been 9 as 12 arrived and six departed and there are 15 UH-60 here at the moment

The first of the incoming CAB have already been off-loaded at Zeebrugge

Post by **Kurnass** » Tue Oct 15, 2019 5:42 pm

Any numbers of choppers confirmed being unloaded?

A local news website in Chievres has an article about the swap. From Wednesday 16 October the helicopters are expected to arrive at Chievres. It also mentions that about 45 helicopters are expected.

Post by **AK01** » Tue Oct 15, 2019 6:51 pm

The number of 57 is correct. I believe 23 are currently present at Eindhoven.
11th 27 arrived
14th 30 arrived
14th 18 departed
15th 16 departed

Perhaps the 3rd CAB will be deploying to Great Britain at some point. Not however confirmed whether it'll be ground forces or helicopters.
