Hi
Great , nice 'choppers'![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
Always welcome , a good blackhawk![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
I even saw once a quite large formation (on low alt , guess about 1000ft) from a MH-53 'Pavelow' and two Blackhawks and two Apaches. Was fantastic , they flew over twice above 'Legerbasis de Troon' (Grobbendonk). What a hell of a NICE noise![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)

Indeed. Although , when the War in Afghanistan began 2001/2002 I saw multiple 'Blackhawks' (patrouilling --- or that's what it looked like) above the 'Kempen' (Westerlo). Really nice.Is it not routine for US Military to stop over at Brussels enroute

it reminds me on the start of the war in iraq. ( think it was around the same period,only it was not for afghanistan)
the USA army had only permission to dock in the port of antwerp(3km behind our house
)...I sleep on the attic so I waked up,heared a lot of noise,opened my roof window...
I saw at least 15 blackhawks making circles after eachother.And they flew pretty low..really it was a nice sight
sorry for the off topic
you had many luck that day sn

I know there are two Black Hawks based at EBCV Chievre. They are here for VIP transport.
