Haven't heard or seen anything to say that deliveries have began, although they are scheduled to receive 20 in exchange for 14 of their Mi-8 MTV-1's. The ones you saw may have been US Army ones there for familiarization purposes or on exercise.

The report of the Croatians trading in their Mi-8s for UH-60s is completely false. I did see some images of US Army Blackhawks passing through Zagreb recently though.

Hi thanks for reply. I have just traced them as six US Army aircraft landed at Zagreb from Kosovo the same day as I saw them. Apparently they carried out a small demo for the local press.

Those are 82-23722, 23740, 83-23881, 84-24004, 85-24435, 24479 all IA ARNG returning to the USA through Wiesbaden.
All arrived by ship through Coleman Baracks back in 2010.

You're welcome! They departed today with two UH-60Ls to Fritzlar and should end up in Bremerhaven for shipment to the USA. More Blackhawks will follow back to the USA.

BR,
Jeroen
