Several Apache and Chinook helicopters over the mid-coast

Four Chinook helicopters, three Apaches and two Cougars circled the Midcoast and hinterland in formation. Those are combat and transport helicopters. The aircraft flew quite low and were noticed by many people in Middelkerke and Ichtegem, among others, as far as Koekelare.

Dutch devices

For those who doubt it: no, this has nothing to do with the conflict in Ukraine. Or with a visit from a foreign head of state. These are aircraft of the Dutch Defense Helicopter Command DHC. They came from Great Britain where they participated in an exercise for three weeks. After some laps they flew on to the Netherlands. They flew inland for a while so as not to stay too close to Ostend-Bruges airport.
