Exercise Forceval 2013 Schleswig-Jagel, Germany

Post by gortje »

Hi,

I've a question about this exercise on Schleswig-Jagel.
On Scramble SIS summary i read that the Forceval exercise ends on 01-03-2013.
When i go down on this same page i see it ends on 03-03-2013 (see below)

11-02/03-03 Schleswig-Jagel, D
2x EF2000 GAF JBG31
2x Tornado IDS GAF JBG33

25-02/03-03 Schleswig-Jagel, D
6x EF2000 GAF JG74
4x Tornado ECR GAF AG51 (ex JBG32)
+ Tornado IDS GAF AG51
4x Tormado IDS GAF JBG33


But when i look on: http://members.ziggo.nl/mysteryship/exe ... cises.html i see that this exercise is beginning on the 25th of March and ends on the 27th of March.

I can't find reliable information about this exercise on the website of the German AirForce or other websites.

Do somebody knows when this excercise really ends??

Regards,

Roelof-Jan Gort

The website you mention in your post says 25 February until 27 February, not March.
That still does not answer your question, however.

I would think so, if I understand the German newsitem correctly. The flying that took place until 22 February was in preparation for the actual Forceval, a kind of "examination".

Wow, there was some good flying going on today;

Morning mission;
JBG 33; 45+66, 43+25, 44+79, 44+29, 45+94, 45+92
JG 74; 30+30, 30+25, 30+29 (EF2000), 30+42 EF2000T)
AG 51; 46+36, 46+49, 46+55, 46+35, 45+22, 46+15, 45+64

Afternoon mission;
JBG 33; 45+66, 43+25, 44+79, 44+29
JG 74; 30+30, 30+25, 30+29 (EF2000), 30+42 EF2000T)
AG 51; 46+49, 46+55, 45+35, 45+64

We arrived at 11:00 and immediately two Buchel Tornado's showed up on approach, full recovery of the morning mission was before 12:00. Don't believe we have missed much more in the morning.
The afternoon mission started around 14:00, we left the field at 15:30 and believe that the mission was fully launched by then.

At 13:15 a single JG 74 Typhoon 30+40 left for a local (test?) flight, landed at about 14:00h.

In the sheds near the entrance two Tornado's could be seen, one could not be read, the other one being towed into the shed around 11.10h was the 46+51.

During the launch of the afternoon wave two more Tornado's could be seen being towed across the field!
