Info from facebook in the spotting EHLW group:
Road to spottershill near runway05 will be closed for cars like last year, parking will be in a field close to the accessroad to the spottershill.
No stopping/parking along the road between Marssum and Beetgum like last year.
More info will follow later.

Some additional info in Dutch regarding handicapt spotters:
De weg naar de spottersbult wordt enkel toegankelijk voor spotters met een beperking die een vergunning van de KLu hebben.
Zo weet ik dat er spotters zijn die in een rolstoel zitten, een zuurstoffles bij zich moeten hebben, of erg moeilijk kunnen lopen.
ZIj kunnen een ontheffing krijgen.
Stuur mij je voornaam, achternaam, geboortedatum, merk, type en kenteken van je auto, en de reden waarom jij een ontheffing wil.
Deze gegevens speel ik door, en zij zorgen ervoor dat jij een ontheffing krijgt.
Oh, de auto moet wel op je eigen naam staan, en vergunningen worden kenteken gebonden.
Dus mail de gegevens naar mij via kor@fotosuk.nl
Er wordt wel kritisch gekeken naar de vergunningen, en misbruik in inname en moet je de auto parkeren waar iedereen het doet.

Nice to see lessons are learned from last year when parking was a chaos.

Not quite the best news, but all Eagles in the Aggressor scheme have been repainted in the standard grey by now.

Those former 65th AGRS Agressor Eagles are indeed repainted in their normal two-tone gray scheme again (being 78-0480 brown, 78-0504 blue and 78-0538 brown).

Wel een stelletje ongelovige Thomassen hier, in het lijstje van FF16 staan de Eagles duidelijk vermeld en dit lijstje komt van het veld al is dat misschien niet voor iedereen even duidelijk!!

This is from the French Airforce, so pretty clear what is to be expected.

I got below text in my RSS-feed of http://www.usafe.af.mil:

==
Twelve F-15C Eagles and approximately 250 Airmen and support equipment from the 131st Fighter Squadron, Barnes Air National Guard Base, Massachusetts, and the 194th Fighter Squadron, Fresno Air National Guard Base, California, are set to arrive at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, March 15, 2016.

The arrival of these F-15s marks the latest iteration of a Theater Security Package to come through the European theater in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve.

After arriving in Europe, the F-15s will divide to simultaneously support the NATO Air Surveillance mission in Iceland and conduct flying training at Leeuwarden Air Base, Netherlands.

Strange enough the source link (http://www.usafe.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123470678) is not available anymore. My RSS reader probably cached it. It could very well be the announcement is not valid anymore, so please observe the usual reservations.
