Monday 1445L and 1515L.

I guess you mean two groups of F-16s?
The 30 minute interval in the arrival time suggests support by 2 tankers, which makes no sense if only two aircraft are involved.

Reach 81 59-1459 is dragging NAF625, currently west of Jacksonville.

N-318, N-319, N-327.

I was hoping on a exotic MIL visitor, these are only locals

N 318 already returned on Tuesday and was replaced by N 088 for the last few days of FOST.

Well, let's get back to topic: XV666 is currently flying out of Portland, so apparently not yet delivered. I read on FC that the helicopters have been resprayed to overall grey, by the way.

Will they continue to Belgium tomorrow? It seems they are expected to arrive at Charleroi on 15 December. An official report states that these are not delivered to another country, but that the handover to Draken has been delayed. https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/documenten/kamerstukken/2022/12/13/kame...

The 10 F-16s from Tucson, now in Florida, will be flown to Charleroi/SABCA for maintenance, probably very soon, before transfer to Bulgaria. Actually, there were 11 KLu F-16s at Tucson in the final months, as J-882 joined the 148th FS early in 2022. It actually flew training mission from there in M...

These are indeed the three Sea Kings operated by Heli Operations at Portland. Is it certain that these aircraft will all be delivered to Ukraine?

Rond 14.15 uur arriveerden inderdaad 9 heli's voor de extractie van de manschappen op Drachten:
D-473, 485 & 601
S-444 & 459
N 195
639, 6105 & 649

Door de mist kwamen ze ruim 4 uur later dan gepland. Daarom is de wave waarin slingloads opgehaald zouden worden, geschrapt.

De Skytruck opereert 3 dagen vanaf Eelde en heeft dan blijkbaar een uitstapje naar Teuge gemaakt.

Grote uittocht dus vandaag, helaas. Deelnemers aan de missie naar Drachten vandaag (11-11) waren: AS.532 S-444, S-459 (allebei 300 sq badge, S-444 had een tweede badge op de staart die ik niet kon lezen) CH-47 D-473, D-601 (allebei 298 sq badge) Mi-8 649, 615 (allebei geen badge) AH-64 Q-01, Q-24 (...

Chinooks op de weg terug? Nu bij Zwolle. Alles terug op deck, D-602 wel departure weer richting het Noorden/oosten, iemand die bij toeval weet of dit een single ship is? Dat was een single ship. Naar Havelte, vermoedelijk met repair party voor de Q-01 die daar voorzorgslanding heeft gemaakt vanmidd...

Confirmed. Did a CasEvac flight as part of Falcon Autumn 2022.

From pictures at Deelen, these were 134 / 434 / 435 / 437. I think full serials are mentioned somewhere in this board. cheers, Oz 4x Apache, 4x Chinook take off I saw four chinooks flying in the middle of the province of Overijssel. One was the 13-08134 according to ABSD. Which other 3? 13-08435 po...

J-066 did indeed join the collection of the NMM, as could be read in the October issue of Onze Luchtmacht.

There seems to be a new FARP at Het Harde, helicopters have been landing and taking off around the area and the USAR Apaches & Chinooks just departed from there towards Drachten as well, no confirmation just yet but it may be the Arnhemse Heide one being moved to there I don't think so. Dutch helos...
