Question about TLP-2 2008

Post by Soren-a »

Hello

I was wondering if anyone have any information about where TLP-2 will be in 2008?

I assume that this is the deployment course. Will it be at Karup air base in Denmark again?

Regards

Normally there is just one TLP out of area but maybe they have changed this because of the bad weather circumstances during March and April.

Still wonder why they have moved to Kinloss....not because of the weather i hope :roll:

TLP2008-2 is cancelled, so the first 2008 TLP at Florennes will be 2008-3 starting May 19th. Except for TLP2008-1 all other TLP's in 2008 will be flown from Florennes!

All the info you will need, and more, on:
http://www.tlp.be/fb/LOA%2008-1%20TLP-U ... v%2007.pdf

All TLP aircraft will be parked at the VASS.

All exercises will use the Spadeadam training area and will generally stay north of the 54N line.

Also for the Kinloss Scramble Airfield Guide, have a look at :

Apparently there will also be some nightflying:

http://www.raf.mod.uk/news/index.cfm?st ... FD99B1111B" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The flying programme is limited to only a few hours a day and night flying is planned for just one week - 21-25 January and all aircraft should be on the ground by 2200 hrs. Apart from some arrivals and departures aircraft should not fly at weekends.

(found the link on Alert5.com)
