Ship with Blackhawks

Post by SWAT 11 »

Hello all,

At this moment a ship with 9 Blackhawks onboard, just passes Tholen. The direction of the ship was to the EAST, i assume Germany. So keep your eyes open this evening.

Best regards,

Hello All,

Just back from a very nice trip to Dordrecht to see the Blackhawks.
I've got several pints across the small channel called "De Kil".

The eleven helicopters were standing on the right side of the ship for me, and I photographed them just before darkness. Every Blackhawk I have photo proved and made the following layout of the parking spots on the ship.

Hi all,

Maybe a silly question but I'm in the Netherlands on holidays and I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this ship will come past Nijmegen, since I'll be there tomorrow evening and the day after tomorrow.

A+
