Re: Europe 2019: US Army 1st CAB, 1st Infantry Div. helicopt

Chièvres has 600ft cloudbase / overcast. Beneath that, the visibility is 9000m. And the rest of the weather forecast says the grey muck will not clear before the evening. In fact, that is the most thickly clouded/overcast area in whole NW Europa at this point in time :-( So, the problem lies there, ...

Re: Europe 2019: US Army 1st CAB, 1st Infantry Div. helicopt

I think the low cloud base is the culprit. if they fly at 1500-2500 feet they are in grey muck all the way. Overcast was 1200-1500ft but clouds will be more broken later this afternoon. New NOTAM for restrictions civil air traffic in Zeebrugge area from 2 to 10 February (older NOTAM was until 2 Febr...

Re: Remains of EP-1577 at Pauluknys - LIT who can help?

The H391B of the Peruvian ejercito were EP-1570 to EP-1574.
But the markings seem to point to Ejercito del Peru, and not all is known of said force in the sixties...

Okay, thanks!
From the perspective you describe, the two Apaches were Q-29 and Q-25.

Re: Europe summer 2018: US Army 4th CAB,4th Infantry Div. he

So two wore C Troop markings and a C Troop name on the LH side, but because they did not have anything on the RH/starboard side (and we neatly want 8 for each Troop) must be A Troop? That is one leap too far for me, because there are several with no markings on the LH side that did have B/C Troop ma...

Re: Europe summer 2018: US Army 4th CAB,4th Infantry Div. he

Just to share some of our notes (we did not get all the markings, all apply to the port sides), colour markings to clarify agreement (green) or disagreement (red), and (blue) = could you please double check your notes to confirm? More will become clear if they are photographed while travelling South...

Re: Europe summer 2018: US Army 4th CAB,4th Infantry Div. he

There were at least two with the playing card of A Troop (no Company/Co. this is CAV :-) ) from memory, the two parked most South on the quay at least. It seems that: A Trp uses Spanish names and casino terms (snake eyes), they have a white playing card with a red skull(?) B Trp uses Americana (all ...

Re: Europe June 2018: US Army 4th CAB,4th Infantry Div. heli

I do not see any Apache going in? Only 8 parked on the dockside while some 41BGD 17CAV vehicles get loaded into an ARC that indeed looks like Resolve. And, like they say in yesterday's post: "842nd, in the past two weeks, has conducted upload and download operations for six vessels in support of six...

Re: Defile Paris 14th July

In that case you should also be able to see if the serial is 5492 or 5509. Nose between the antennae and tip of tail :wink:
