Hi,

At least two days, the tlp is not flying:
EBFS AIRBASE CLOSED DUE TO SOCIAL EVENT 'ST ELOI'. 30 NOV 07:30 2007 UNTIL 30
NOV 16:30 2007. CREATED: 07 NOV 08:04 2007

EBFS AIRBASE CLOSED DUE TO SOCIAL EVENT. 14 NOV 07:30 2007 UNTIL 14 NOV 16:30
2007. CREATED: 07 NOV 08:02 2007

So 14th and 30th no flying.

Damm if you just planned a trip for the 30th...

Does it mean that there will be nothing to see in EBFS these days? Or will they depart earlier and return later?

I planned to go in the last week 10/12-14/12, pref. thu 13/12..

Hi,

Times are zulu. So they will depart Florennes, then fly into france and land after mission at Florennes. They very often have notams like these for the target area(s).
