Any clue yet as for which helo's can be expected at both locations and if they will remain static as well, or just fly their display?

Assen:
Helikopter demonstratie
Vanaf 11.00u vliegen verschillende helikopters van het Defensie Helikopter Commando boven de kazerne. U kunt tijdens de demonstratie kennis maken met de AH-64 Apache, CH-47 Chinook en AS-532 Cougar. Met behulp van de Cougar zullen infanteristen van het 13e infanteriebataljon worden afgezet op het dak van een flatgebouw. In de Chinook zijn verschillende ladingen meegenomen, deze zullen op het sportveld worden afgezet. In de tussentijd zorgt de Apache van grote hoogte voor de veiligheid.

Apache vloog paar rondjes boven de kazerne in Assen 'top cover' voor de Cougar en de Chinook.
Cougar en Chinook geland, Apache vliegt alweer in zuidelijke richting.
