Sjoerd, looking at ADSB history this one appears to be based at Godman/KY. Being an HH-60 it should/could belong to the Army Reserve's C/5-159th AVN. ARC Might seem strange, but since the arrival of ARC Chinooks in Rota it could be a new trend.
That was also my initial thought, but the Defender exercises should be played out mainly in southern Europe/Balkans. But you could be right, especially if this airframe is indeed 5-159th Avn.

UH-60L:

AH64E:

Thanks, that is a nice and welcome addition! The full serial is 98-26812.
Sjoerd,
In your overview you put these down as one flight. I understand that they definitely didn't leave as one flight from Esbjerg, the 4 Blackshawks departed as R20409. I do not know if they hooked up as one flight from Bremen though.....

That was indeed an assumption, thanks for correcting me!

11-20352 is your last HH-60M Sjoerd.
Noted at Illesheim last week by myself.
Thanks Gijs! Any chance you noted 11-20332 and if so, can you confirm it is a HH-60M as well? Secondly, would you be so kind to post your log so we can confirm the adsb sightings as actually noted?
20332 was seen at Illesheim last week and is a HH-60 for sure!
I very much doubt 20352 is in Germany as well, because it was noted on adsb in USA yesterday.
That still leaves 1 HH-60 to be confirmed.
Noted at Olsztyn-Mazury, Poland this morning (26 June) were seven 4-3 Avn UH-60Ms: 11-20357 (all dark serial), 11-20366, 11-20370 and 11-20417 (latter three had their last threes in white), all on the civil terminal side; plus 12-20461 (last three in white) and two more on the far side.
The final UH-60L is known now (93-26482). This week also several helicopters left Powidz for Illesheim and made a fuel stop at Dresden, where they were read off. So again a few more serials confirmed by eyeball.
Finally the last and final Apache was confirmed at Grafenwöhr last month; 20-03331. It was already suspected this was the frame involved as the unit only has 24 Apaches on strength.
