Tuesday February 8, 2022 Day 2 and I went to GLV-4 Edese Heide for the afternoon's Slingery Exercise. After a very long hike across heathland I eventually arrived at the exercise area as the ground support unit was marking out the helicopter approach lines. A pair of AS.532U2 Cougar and CH-47F Chinook based at Gilze-Rijen were to carry equipment as underslung loads to this exercise area. The Cougar performed two drops each and the Chinook three drops each from Deelen.
