Coming back from holidays this afternoon, while we were landing, I saw this Chinook (or another Chinook) at Melsbroek.
It was parked too far (at the begining of the C-130s ramp, coming from the Police building) to read any number.

It was parked in front of the big hangar and could have been seen from the parkinglot. There could have been more offcourse

Perhaps their being 'offcourse' was the main reason they were there in the first place.. :lol:

The Chinook (ZA720/AW) went tech last Thursday (20-08) and awaited spares which arrived today. They performed some ground runs but still not good :? ... It will be at Melsbroek for some more days, they put it inside.
