sorry for being incomplete.A concentration on two bases for the fighterpart of the airforce. (What's left over of it ...)
Gilze and Volkel, and Eindhoven for transport.
What about the rumours of relocating the transportsquadrons from Eindhoven to another airfield in light of the increasing number of civil flights at this field?Alpha Kilo One wrote: But anyway, that's what rumours are.

But as politics is never for certain .............
I hope the best, but am expecting Leeuwarden to close.
Sources on the airbase itself confirm these rumours.
Sorry .....

Two months ago I asked LuVo about it, they were quite clear in that military transport stays at Eindhoven airbase, not eindhoven airport... it is an airbase with civil co-users, not the other way around, so the KLu will 99% certainly stay at their own base..... It is far more likely that civil traffic will be re-directed...Quote:

Still rumours, or not?If so, maybe EHLW is an option.....
Is an F35 making more noise then an F16? I doubt that..... The planes they build these days are much more quit then the "oldies", don't you think?visser wrote:For sure the members of the " Milieu Taliban " are sharpening their knifes pointing ad the noise of the JSF. Every week there is an article in the local paper about the noise item and the consequences for the villages about EHLW.
Did you forget to read the vervanging F-16's topic?Henk Voortwijs wrote:Is an F35 making more noise then an F16? I doubt that..... The planes they build these days are much more quit then the "oldies", don't you think?
I recall reading and commenting on an article in the Vervanging F16's topic in 't Praethuys that a F35 makes an immense amount of more noise than an F-16.. Don't remember exact figures but I thought more than a 10 dB increase in either take-off or landing compared to the F-16. That's doubling the amount of noise 3 times and them some (if you know your physics).Henk Voortwijs wrote:Is an F35 making more noise then an F16? I doubt that.....

Well, that's not for the LuVo to decide, but for the politicians. And if they find that Eindhoven could use the economical boost created by civil movements, I fully expect to see an increase in civil traffic and maybe eventually a relocation of the transport fleet.Polecat wrote:Two months ago I asked LuVo about it, they were quite clear in that military transport stays at Eindhoven airbase, not eindhoven airport... it is an airbase with civil co-users, not the other way around, so the KLu will 99% certainly stay at their own base.....

and what about the increase in military traffic? All the KDC-10 flights, Antonovs and C-17's?Well, that's not for the LuVo to decide, but for the politicians.

I thought in the topic somewhere at this board about that civ traffic being moved out of Schiphol, one of the people working at ATC said Lelystad had been binned for this purpose, as these kind of movements from EHLE would interfere too much with inbound traffic to EHAM.Polecat wrote:I wouldn't be surprised if the KLu stays on course and lelystad, Eelde and possibly Twente will be used as relief fields for civil traffic...
I do not think that flying activities will increase as these three planes replace four Fokker 60's (which were retired far too early). As these three planes have a larger capacity, less flights are needed compared to the times that the Fokker 60's were at EHEHPolecat wrote:IDon't forget that EHEH will get two extra hercules and an extra DC-10, so it is likely that mil traffic will increase as well...
.Till now, it was said the first would arrive at the end of this year, so probably another delay. (and an italian machine would be based at de Kooy for training purposes from next june)De dertig moeten eerst worden omgeschoold om in het toekomstige NH 90-toestel te kunnen werken.
De eerste heli van dat type wordt volgens planning in 2011 geleverd, de laatste uit een serie van twintig in 2014.
No, Texel doesn't use choppers. They prefer to die in an ambulance on board of their self-owned ferry, instead of surviving by helicopters from "de overkant".De Kooy wordt ingeseind voor schepen in nood en patiëntenvervoer vanaf Texel.
