They have a weekly cleanliness check on the Chinook so they get used for that as well as the brass. I was assured there are two brooms in every Chinook.

Awesome pictures!! Incredible how you got inside all those beautiful machines!
Next year […] CH-53
I NEED to become a member before then.
Gotta finish painting my room so I can start to build the Freaky Simpit 2.0 and get back to flying choppers regularly.

Looks like it has been a fantastic day. Do you know why there is the emblem of the city of Berlin on that Huey?

Organised by an ex Bundeswehr panzergrenadier major who flies DCS. Ex Infantry officers are cool. OK, I am also an ex Infantry Major but not armoured.
The 7th photo is of the organiser “Aardvark” of the Black Angels sitting in an Apache.

No one has an answer yet. We have asked Katterbach Kasserne where it is part of their memorial to their lost crews. My guess is the aircraft was a Berlin airframe that they chose not to repaint. Just a guess though.

Membership is free. Voluntary donations if you wish. We meet several times a week mostly Tues, Thurs and Sat. Servers run 24/7 and members ‘drop in’. Usually 1900 GMT using Discord for lessons, TeamSpeak and SRS. Some early flights to match west coast USA times occasionaly (Saturday mid day GMT). Most members are German. Mostly flying is done in English. The big emphasis is improving your flying skills rather than shoot em ups. We tend to.operate in big formations both in training and in missions. Training mostly in Hueys but all helicopters are flown and taught.
We do not get annoyed with newcomers or mid air collisions. We all began that way. Now we often spiral dive 15 helicopters into a small LZ disembark and get out. All with suppresive fires from gunships
The CH53 visit WILL book up quickly.
Significant others and children came on both the weekend and the Katterbach visit.
Had there been the demand, we could have visited the motorpool to see their Humvees @Victork2
