I wonder at what time they would be at IJmuiden ...

They mention:
16 juli Aankomst Japanse vloot in Amsterdam om 16:00 uur
(arrival Japanese fleet at Amsterdam at 16:00 hours)

I saw the Japanese Armada and made a few pictures,unfortunately the Seahawk was inside the the ship in the middle,hopefully it will be towed outside for the public viewing saturday:-)

No, I happen to have X-ray vision.

Dear Arnold,

Could you be more specific about what you saw ?
Is the SH-60 vissible from "de kade" and is it the ship in the middle where the sh-60 is vissible.

Thanx in advance for your answer.

[Ramses2]

Hi,

The sh60 is visible from the quai and is on the ship in the middle,ship will be open saturday!

On above link you can see the arrival in Amsterdam with a short glimpse of the heli as well !!!!!

[Arnold ten Pas]

Ok, even more specific:

The UH-60 is on the deck on one of the ships (the middle one). It was OUTSIDE this morning (09.00). It can be easily seen from the Javakade (were the ships are moored), The Oostelijke Handelskade (On the other side of the harbour) or any train inbound and outbound south of Amsterdam CS.
