During April Eindhoven is dominated by the EART training.

This year is no exception, on paper as reality proves EARTs

are covered with setbacks. This year the Italian KC767 was

not available, the French C-135 tanker flew one mission

before returning home due to operational reasons. And the

USAFE KC-135 from Mildenhall arrived, broke down and after

receiving the new part they to returned home without flown

an EART mission. This left the 334sq KDC-10 and FBS BMVg

A310MRTT als sole refuelling duo with the first broken for

75% of the time due to a stubborn fuel leak. Special visitor on

the last day was a Mildenhall based MC-130J, performing some

touch and goes with a full stop and departure soon after. Air X

Charter operated a charter to Fez-Saïss Airport, Morocco on

the 3rd after ahving arrived the previous day. Also on the 3rd

a charter to Fez-Saïss operated by Titan Airways. On the 4th

Enter Air operated a charter to Nador, Morocco. Bh Airlines

operated two flightsfor Corendon with the 1st taking place

on the 9th. The first Falcon 8X for Eindhoven visited on the

10th. On the 12th SmartLynx arrived from Gran Canaria and

departed to San Pablo, Spain. Corendon Airlines Europe oper-

ated the first of two flights for the Turkish mother company

NHV acquired the BluewayGroup (including Dancopter, Blueway Offshore Norge, Airlift & Vertech) in 2014. In December 2015 the whole NHV

group got a rebranding (with a new logo) and the brand names Dancopter & Blueway also disappeared. E155B1 OY-HJB was seen with the NHV

logo on its fuselage but still in the Dancopter colours. (Den Helder, 11 April 2018, Hans Cornelissen)
