Yes, the Germans have at least once and will be coming back. Understand the Italians will as well. Pretty sure the isrealis won't.

Not certain but I've heard it mentioned that the Israelis will be departing on Thursday(19th), the Germans & Italians the following day. Most of the support will be departing on the w/c Mon 23rd. DSTM :)

Good afternoon,

Anyone know if the F15's will be flying tomorrow if the rumoured departure of Thursday becomes true?
