All still present at first light. A lot of activity though, so they may be looking to move. Low cloud and rain may delay things.

En route till Ramstein AB (fuelstop.)

Andy,

As far as I understand, several choppers had left Monday (towards Germany). I'm sure somebody at the fence yesterday could confirm this.

That's correct, I saw these as I wrote in my first post in this topic. I'm still searching for the chopper's serials which arrived on Friday. One is 92-26436 (UH60L). Any one else for the others?

Besides that, does anyone know where to find the fy's of the UH60's from which the fy's aren't listed yet here?

These 2 UH-60L is just 1 airframe.
These UH-60M should be HH-60M (15 in total)

The current deployment unit is to return to the CONUS after the 1st CAB is in place, somewhere in november.
The story, with pictures!

Thanks for the valuable information I found on this website!
