Is that indeed good or bad news?
What do you think?

[Stephan Lodewijks]

Personally I don't think it will affect air traffic too much, because intensity of visitors and local traffic is always low at Volkel. But it may provide some nice photo opportunities (that is, if the grass doesn't grow too high between the fence and the runway this time of year).

Agree on all Stephan says.

For pictures on the parallel runway not good due to the height of the grass this time of the year. But for landing shots perfect when 24 in in use .

Normally the grass wil be cut somewere in september. So maybe better chances for runway shots in the last few weeks.

Don't expect to much F-16 movement. Around four and if you are lucky six to eight.

Volkel F-16's to FWIT (till the end of July), Jawtex (May) and NTM (June).
