(2518) CH-47F All markings painted over I'm told this was wrongly marked on the con plate and should be 2521. PT-ZNG KC-390 FABr. Marked 52 on nose, so that would make it FAB2852.

Couple of additions: Static c/n PT001 B-250T UAE. I think this one was real, not sure about the other one next to it. The orange/grey B250 was real, but both B350s were I believe mock-ups. The one in "primer" (mkd SN0001) was definitely made from wood. They had no c/n plates like the B250. Flightli...

Does anybody have a number count of how many aircraft are still to transmit to Vlissingen? According to my knowledge the following could still be expected: three CH-47F Chinooks (08171, 08453 and 08461) and two UH-60M Black Hawks (20389 and 20392). Regards, Hans van Herk The two 60M's already flew ...

20353 arrived 1605hrs.

No, see couple posts above, they washed helicopters and did engine flushes.

Yes, I’m told they did engine flushes today.

Does anyone know if there is a rehearsal for the opening flypast. If so, what day and time will that be?
Seeing the show starts on Monday, will that mean rehearsal on Sunday?

162 has "BLACK SHEEP"
199 has "HEAVEN"

466 has ROCKBOTTOM

Other two Chinooks offloaded an hour ago.
Shouldn’t it be 16 Apaches Patrick?

49 in total I’m told.

OK, thx. 164709 was with VMFA-232 in 2022, so perhaps it was just a (short-time) loaner.
