To keep it clear, these are other F-16s then the ones at Bangor.

Oscar

Hi,

Two F-16s are still at Bangor, 1 tech. Will route Bangor - Europe straight and not through Lajes. No ETD so far.

Oscar

Hi Rene,

Do you have any news on (possible) F-16s?

Oscar

Hi,

No F-16s filed for Lajes as of 12.00z (so not the ones for Spang or so). Only a/c filed were some prowlers.

Oscar

Hi Ergo, Nice you look so funny at it. Of course, time will tell. I'll try to keep to the facts. For last friday, 2 F-16s were definately filed for Spangdahlem. Callsigns Retro88/89. No tails, place of original departure was Cannon, NM. Tanker was Blue39 and was at Bangor, Maine. Flightplan was canc...

And to make it more difficult:
Polish are expecting 2 more F-16s also within 1 or 2 weeks....

But, I might be able to give serials tomorrow evening.

Oscar

Hi,

F-16s on delivery went tech this morning. No etd / eta is know so far....

Oscar

2 F-16s on delivery (don't know if they wear CC!) are on 24hour delay.

Oscar

Hi Maurizio, all, Indeed Retro88/89 are expected tomorrow, but ETA filed right now is 15.50z which is 16.50 local, and it's pretty dark by that time. These are the only two for tomorrow. The will be brought to SP by 1 KC-135 with eta of 14.30z (so that indeed fits in with an eta of roughly 75 min la...

Ach, zoiets moet toch kunnen? Op afstand vond ik het leuk om te lezen in ieder geval! Hoop de foto's hier spoedig te mogen zien (en weer 80 posts )

Groeten,
Oscar

With thanks to the man in the traffic four of them arrived not too long ago. ETD is set for 17.00 local tonight.

Cheers,
Oscar

Hi, According to 2Wing Staff, these were Dutch spotters who were allowed on base, but not on TLP ramp. In my *own* words "a selfguided tour"... Names were mentioned, but I won't publish them here as tlp staff is still working on this (and yes, they were dutch :oops: :evil: :oops: :evil: )....

Hi,

Just diverted in to Mildenhall is 86-0135 B-1B.

As it "just" diverted in for fuel (KC-135 could not get airborn from EGUN), I don't expect him to stay very long.... (but hopefully at least till tonight because then I can check him out)

Regards,
Oscar

RCH88* is a "ferry" callsign for local C-130s that go / come from the east (or for maintanance to the west).

Oscar

They cancelled and stayed at Lajes.

They will fly later this week.

BUT be advised that these vipers were filed to go straight to Poland. But apparently the wx was too bad, so they decided ENROUTE to change to ETAD.

So not sure if the other 2 will go through Spang as well.

Cheers,
Oscar
