Скачать или смотреть 8 Chinook & Apache helicopters drop into Northolt for fuel

This afternoon, eight helicopters (three CH-47 Chinooks and five AH-64 Apaches) of the Royal Netherlands Air Force departed from their home base at Gilze-Rijen en route to Carlisle via RAF Northolt for a 'gas and go'. The choppers will join others in the north of England for a large military exercise.
It was hoped that four Chinooks would make the journey, and indeed four did depart, but one suffered a technical issue on its way and diverted to another air base before it crossed the channel.

Chinooks and Apaches are no strangers to RAF Northolt, many are seen overflying the base on their way to or from London and occasionally, they will also make a fuel stop. But foreign Chinooks and Apaches are much rarer, especially a large number of them.

Hopefully they will stop again in a few weeks when they return from the exercise.
