Does anyone know of any dates for FF next year?

Ian

11/04/16 - 22/04/16

France will attend with 8 jets ( Mirage 2000 N/D )

Scramble SIS is also showing USAF (CA/MA ANG, tbc) F-15s, and was also showing Ozzie F/A-18F's, although they seem to be greyed out now?

I've also had reports that TLG-31 Typhoons and Polish F-16s will also be attending again, but as ever, don't pin anything on it until you see them arrive! Still looks worth a visit, despite us saying we were probably going to have a year off!

UPDATE - The following lifted from the NATO/SHAPE website earlier today...

That isn't the official website! It is only providing information based on facts. The official website is: http://www.luchtmacht.nl, unfortunately they are not that quick with publishing information.

(By the way, the mentioned website in the quote can also be visited via: http://www.frisianflag.nl)

interesting to see, that the French AF officially mentioned 8 Mirage on their website in earlier stages.
Anyway-good lineup and nice mixture of aircraft. On Scramble they mentioned changes regarding the traffic around the base
during FF. Any idea on that one ?

This might be a stupid question but thought best to ask first. Does anyone know if it's alright to use a scanner around Leeuwarden?

Feel free to use your scanner. No problem at all.

Cheers,
Ranger

Lots of people will have scanners.

I don't take mine because there is too much going on when they launch 40 odd jets.

Thanks chaps, appreciate the replies

30+05 no badge German EF2000T turned up at 12:30L and parked to the left of the existing EF2000s as viewed from the spotters plaaatts. ( from the mound I think it is out of sight behind a shelter and a clump of trees. It hadn't departed by 16:30 when I left)
