Frisian Flag 2017

I do agree with you. But i could see a reason for staging through Lakenheath as they could then turn up together at Leeuwarden on time as two flights of six.

It would look better rather than arriving stretched out with possible delays etc. But F'Flag don't start until next week so they should all of arrived by then!

Edit: sorry forgot to copy an earlier post into my drivel.

[MRTT]

Confirmed on Twitter that they're due in tomorrow.

24hr slip according to Scramble, now planned for 1600L onwards in Leeuwarden on Wednesday.

[pjotrtje]

Seems another delay is in play as one CUBE flight is diverting to Bangor and the other hadn't even departed...

[sschofield]

"Tanker issues" apparently! Which, considering there were 8 tankers supporting the crossing in one form or another, is quite impressive even by the USAF's standards! Where are all the KC-10s?

[slogen51]

RFR 7081-7084 on Marham ground for radio check.

RFR 7085-7086 also departed to Leeuwarden

Two more EF2000 arrived 31+29 and 31+33
(Hope they don't change over too much - i need a ridiculous amount there)

Three AdlA M2000D : 653,617 and 668

4th Mirage is 671. Belgians FA-70/116/121/124/128 also arrived. (EDITED for correct serials, those on ADSB were nonsense!)

Yep, I need 9 out of 12 Germans, 2 of the French, none of the Belgians, and fingers crossed a few Portuguese and a decent amount of the F-15s! Roll on next Thursday!

In the last 4 years of FF that I've visited, there isn't a lot of changing of aircraft.

[slogen51]

Snap!

I need 9 Germans and three French - well pleased so far.

I am going in the second week ( have done for the last 4/5 years)
