Also on 16-10-2019 Spang F-16s observed on ADS-B, so it seems the grounding comes to an end.
Humorous detail... callsigns "RISKY"

9th flight just passed over Geldrop at 18.01 R08467
15-08467 CH-47F
15-08195 CH-47F
12-20451 UH-60M

Can 15-08195 be 15-08194 as 15-08195 has been reported last friday?

Agree, 08195 was in the 11-10 list.
The only CH-47 still missing from the February Zeebrugge list would be 08194.

Seen on ADS-B this morning (11-10-2019@09:00LT) CH-47F 14-08168 c/s R08168 landing at Wiesbaden.
Also @ 09:15LT HH-60M 08-20160 c/s R20160 airborne from Ansbach heading west.
These are both 1 CAB a/c that arrived through Zeebrugge last February.
Seems the move is starting...

Are Fridays on these and other airbases still as bad as the used to be? Only a morning mission and then Feierabend?

The underwing pod may be removableand the fuselage tank is palletized, but doesn't the KC require special plumbing and fuel management system to cross feed the fuel between the various tanks, engines, dump and refueling system? If not, there would be no difference between a KC and a regular C?

And 0216 left again around 15:30ish...
