Belgian Helicopters

Post by np1991 » Thu May 08, 2025 4:02 pm

Arriving this afternoon for Exercise Red Condor were the following helicopters:

BAF 350/351 - NH90s RN07 and RN08
BAF 317/318/319 - A109s H21, H38 and H46

All parked northside, towards the parallel runway.

Did any support aircraft turn up before or was it all done by road?

Outside, they're all on the north ramp, on your left looking from the Findhorn end. Nh90s are nearer the runway and easy enough to see. A109s are hiding behind some containers but if you go to the Kinloss side of the runway, they're easier to see.

They're airborne, A109s were showing on 360 around Dundee and the Nh90s around Edinburgh about 15 minutes ago.
