Hi,
All expectations and news can be posted here.
Questions also allowed?

Will the F-15's operate from Leeuwarden or RAF Lakenheath? Or is this not known yet?

Leeuwarden!
They specially planned the FF2008 earlier because of the F-15's, when it was planned later in the year, they were not sure if they had any budget left to participate!

The French Rafales will be from EC1/7.
Today there was a premeeting for FF2008 and a A-jet from EC1/7 visited.

De luchtmacht heeft intern gesproken over HH-60's ipv UH-60's van de amerikanen. Dit zouden volgens de Klu de bijzonderste bezoekers moeten zijn. Nu zou het zo kunnen zijn dat dat een communicatie fout binnen de Klu is maar het staat er wel! Ik zal binnenkort hier op het forum het stuk van de klu over Frisian flag plaatsen.

Hi,

Sounds logical. HH-60 from LN for CSAR part. Instead of UH-60 what are they going to do?

Nice HH-60! :lol:

Can we, based on earlier editions, expect transport aircraft from the foreign participants to bring in the groundcrew and spareparts?

Looking at previous editions and the TLP I think we can expect some support from the following countries.

Maybe some French support, for sure some Spanish support and no support from the other countries. But this is still a educated guess.

Frisian Flag.

Post by kmarrie »

Dit is wat de Klu te zeggen heeft over Frisian Flag dus er worden daadwerkelijk HH-60's verwacht.

De voorbereiding voor Frisian Flag 2008 is in volle gang. Deze oefening staat gepland voor de eerste twee weken van april (31 maart t/m 11 april). Deelnemers zijn tot dusver de KLu met F-16, Belgen met F-16, Duitse F-4’s, Amerikaanse F-15’s, Franse Rafale’s en Spaanse F-18’s. Tijdens de twee weken zullen alle aspecten van het F-16 JOP beoefend worden. Highlights zijn zoal CSAR, met Amerikaanse HH-60 helikopter ondersteuning, en grote aanvalsmissies met een diversiteit aan deelnemers en capaciteiten. Alles zal met realistische scenario’s aan elkaar gekoppeld om ook training te kunnen leveren voor ondersteunend personeel.

Spanish F18's are cancelled and it is still not sure if the F15's will be stationed at Leeuwarden or that they will come for some lunchstops

In that case they can invite the finish airforce. They are also FF die hards.
