Fact or guess/speculation (still about 6 weeks to go before FF22 starts)

Same goes for the Polish Vipers: guess or known fact!

So far, I've only read about Spangdahlem F-16's being deployed to Romania. When did Aviano go?

Spang deployed 8 vipers to Romania, 8 AVs were planned as well, but no clue if they went.

Also roumours that AV will head to UK soon.

But that's all off topic ;-)

Any chance of FF getting cancelled because of the Ukraine situation?

I, for one, hope not....

...wait and see... :|

A lot can happen in a months' time.

This is a so-called "real world event" that
can -and has led
to cancellations of airshows, spotter base visits, and I suppose exercises as well... :|

To whom it may concern and/or had not noticed yet :!:

a thread/draadje in "Tattle Lounge/Praethuys" got deleted because of
an Ukraine/Frisian Flag-discussion that got out of hand... :roll:

The polish fulcrums appear to have been given to ukraine. So if FF continues as planned, personally I would not count on it, then the fulcrums are out.

They talked about old/stored examples of MiG-29 and Su-25’s. Not only from Poland, but also from Slovakia, Bulgaria and maybe more countries. So not the ones still flying for the Polish Air Force.

News is scrappy, but looking at the numbers they talk about operational and maybe some stored examples.
I think there are some logistic problems as these are aircraft that are updated a few times and are of (complete) different specifications.
As this is an EU thought up thing it looks more political than military engineered.

Probably these last few messages (including this one) should be in other forum.

About FF the chance this will be take place looks very small to me.

This discussion about deliveries to Ukraine should be stopped anyway, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Poland themselves have all denied this will happen.

And as such, lets go back on topic.
For now, no news from the defense, so it seems that they are not (yet) cancelling it. Please just wait and see instead of rumouring around everywhere...

Leeuwarden AFB Twitter says it is not cancelled (yet):
--Niemand kan de toekomst voorspellen, maar zoals gezegd: Frisian Flag gaat tot dusver gewoon door.--
