I heard that this years 2017 Frisian Flag will be the last one held. It seems (what people told me) it has to do with the transition to the F-35 "Lightning II" in the upcoming years.

Another great exercise nearby gone (after TLP at Florennes).

As far as I know this is only for two years, during the transition to F-35.
So if my info is correct, the next Frisian Flag will be held in 2020.

I do hope you are well informed. Then, 2020, it will be a Frisian Flag with dutch F-35's. But only time will tell if your info was right.

From what it known now there is indeed no FF in 2018 and 2019.

Opvallender vind ik het aan de oostkant van het veld, je mag blijkbaar bij kop 27 het oude spoortracé niet eens meer op. Je kunt je afvragen van wie het spoortracé is en wie er last van heeft dat er mensen staan en voor een trein hoef je (helaas) niet meer bang te zijn sinds het laatste vervoer in 1998 stopte (aardappelen vanaf Stiens).
Dit was vorig jaar ook al verboden gebied aangegeven met Art.461 borden, dus je loopt het risico op een boete (90 euro) als je daar gaat staan, alhoewel ik daar vorig jaar wel een paar fotografen heb zien staan.
Alle weilanden voor kop 27 zijn trouwens van Defensie en ik vermoed dat ze het stuk spoor trace nu ook in bezit hebben.

That map can't be right. Designated spotters area (in blue) on the Jelsum side is tiny.

Are the no go areas on the map only valid during the FF itself? or also during the arrival of the F15's?

Thanks!

I would take it as for FF but id be wise and adhere to them even during F15's arrivals so as not create any problems during FF.
