For some reason nobody posted any updates on the Thai here, on the mil part of the Roterdam forum.....
Anyway, it did indeed visit, albeit with a delay of some 85 minutes. B.737-448 HS-HRH/90409/99-999 arrived around 16:50 and already left again around 17:35. A nice visitor for those who missed it at Amsterdam recently (like me ).
Also seen was French A.319-115X (1485)/F-RBFA and SA.316B A-247.

that's why one should keep an eye on the RTM-board....

And if u read the civil post also a Alou 3 M-2 in formation with a lynx.

And late in the evening/night Pedro2 SH-14D 283 tankstop.

greetings Vincent

I did read the civil forum as well, but didn't see the M-2 or Lynx, so i don't post info on them obviously.

Is unit of the Thai Boeing 737-448 "Royal Flight" or does it belong to a squadron???

Per

[patrick dirksen]

Scramble database doesn't give a unit, but according to the OrBat the Royal Flight is part of 6 Wing, 602 squadron. So unless someone knows different that is the unit I write down in my notes.

Volgende is mijn bescheiden visie op dit alles:
Als je op de "startpagina" van dit messageboard kijkt dan staat er achter het gedeelte Rotterdam Airport : Forum for all matters concerning Rotterdam Airport (Zestienhoven). Mijns inziens vallen hier dus ook militaire posts onder.

gaan we verder. Achter het gedeelte Spotting- Netherlands and Belgium staat: Logs and news from all other airports and airfields in The Netherlands and Belgium not covered in the above forums.
mijns inziens is dat dus niet RTM.

Ik kan mij dus zo voorstellen dat alles van RTM,civ of mil, gewoon bij Rotterdam Airport wordt geplaatst. Je hebt tenslotte ook geen twee forums over Eindhoven.

we zien het wel.

groeten,
Cor

But for both Amsterdam and Rotterdam a seperate forum has been created for "MIL ONLY". That's because most mil spotters don't want to spent hours of reading civil movements and expectations hoping there might be a single mil aircraft in it.
The reason there are no two forums about Eindhoven (or Twenthe for that matter) is that those airfields are both civilian and military used, unlike Amsterdam and Rotterdam. These are civil only in principle!
So it would be nice if people who check the Rotterdam forum all the time (==> civil spotters) would copy info on military movements to the therefor meant Rotterdam Mil Only forum.

those airfields are both civilian and military used, unlike Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

There is hardly a day without some sort of mil visitor at Rotterdam. Admitted more often than not a RNLAF Fk50, GIV, All.3 aor an Navy Lynx, but anyway.

Mil-spotters should not spend time looking but Rotterdam spotters should spend time making two messages or browse two forums

Be happy if somebody post but don't expect it.

Just my 2 cents.

[patrick dirksen]

Visitors are something different from based and military operated. And I don't expect people to post, don't worry. I lost that hope a long time ago....
It's not a matter of making two messages, simply "copy paste" is enough. And you don't have to "browse" to forums, only the civil one would do. All info on the mil one is also in the civil one if everything is done the way it should.
Just my opinion!

[Key]

There is only one 'official' forum for EHRD movements, and that is Rotterdam - Zestienhoven. Additionally, there is a user-maintained topic for EHRD - mil only. Same setup for EHAM.
The 'mil only' topics are maintained on a voluntary basis...
