Some of the AV are using HAS plus I thought you could only see them from the A1065 opposite the golf course

( Just read above that Italian EF2000 are rumoured to Frisian flag - is still the case ? Sounds tempting )

In the absence of a reply I understand that some are in Shelters. When they taxy out one is usually from a PAS/HAS and the other from Charlie ramp - from what I hear on the box. But thankfully for once I haven't needed to view from the A1065

If they reposition to Leeuwarden ? - then they might all be out on the ramp the previous Wednesday evening. Viewable so I have read on here by parking in the usual turn off the A1065 ( opposite the golf course) and walking north and you come to a point where you can look back at them - not easy but doable

Italian EF2000s and Tornados, as well as RAF Typhoons for FF, to replace the lack of Polish participation, and evidently the German EF2000s are also still in the balance (although more likely than not as I understand it). French (Navy) Rafales and (Air Force) 2000Ds seem safe though, along with Canadian Hornets which I assume will be arriving in the next couple of days, and supposedly some or all of the "AV" F-16s currently at your local!
