Hi,
Does anyone know if the Chinooks are parked out on the field over the weekend or put away. Thanks for any help, might save a wasted trip.

Regards
Mike

Hi Mike,
All three out on cross runway this afternoon
The middle one did some rope and wire ladder work with the troops and some local circuits, later identified from adsb as ZK553 'Lifter 1'
C-17 ZZ176 arrived 17:30 and demonstrated some impressive reversing onto the disused runway
A400 ZM409 went to Valley earlier
Regards
Paul

Hi Mike,
No problem-happy to help
BTW adsb had ZK553 out to Denmark/Sweden yesterday
Aalborg seems to be used as an Exercise destination depending upon which phase they are up to

Paul

Paul, ZK553 went to Arna/Upsala where both the C-17 A-400s have been.

Aalborg holds many Special Force exercises, as it is an SF HQ.
