EHWO 24-10-2023

Post by Daan Westenberg »

Currently 11:01 local just a couple PC7s flying and two blackhawks with an almost unreadable registration got towed over to the other side from their parking, no activities regarding departures yet, does anyone know if there is activity at Vlissingen indicating a departure to Woensdrecht?

Are those helicopters that are towed to the south side still visible from the fence?

Big chance they are/were doing ground runs in terms of testing the helicopters today.
