SRZ ''Ede'' 20-05-2008

Post by Sines »

Another try with the Diablo Challenge exercise today at the Special Rules Zone Edese Heide.

Just afte two o'clock no less than FIVE Apaches turned up. One at FL050 while the others spreaded over the area at about 1500feet. Followed by two Cougars en one Chinook of which the latter went into the holding area until the LZ was cleared. At that point the transport dropped the platoon and all hell broke loose. Two times F-16's gave air cover while the Apaches took care of all CCA. Before all were picked up at the end of the afternoon one Cougar proceeded with a CasEvac. Unfortunately the Chinook went tech so only the Cougars returned just at 17:30 local.

Opposing forces were played by a graduation class of ..... PC-7 pilots. While waiting to go to the US they had not much to do, exept this. Also the keep them rolling brigade lent some vehicles and oldtimers to drive them

Hallo,

De Cougars die a/h eind terugvlogen naar Gilze-Rijen waren de S-447 en S-445. Alex, ik vermoed dat de S-419 inderdaad 's ochtends heeft gevlogen maar dat deze bij de fuel stop op SSB kapot is gegaan en gewisseld, net als de Chinook helaas. Op de skenner was ook te horen dat er wat met de status van beide kisten was, kon alleen niet volgen wat.

V.w.b. de Apaches heb ik geen idee, te ver weg of te hoog. De F-16's heb ik wel geplaat maar ik had geen lange lens bij me dus dat was niet wat.

S-445 (Die heeft ook op de uitlaat omvormer (?) AS445 staan)
