A further bit of digging has revealed the following...

AMI C130 ETA1100 ETD1230
AME C130 ETA1245 no ETD
AME C295 ETA1530 no ETD

AME F18x5 ETD1015 .. Plan cancelled !
(maybe filed wrongly ? Should be for Fri ? )

[Hanske]

Good question Fisher,

Anybody an idea why the Spanish are leaving already tomorrow, is this mission (13-12) already cancelled ? And what about the CSAR HH-3F's, did they flew today and are/where they planned for tomorrow?

Ciao, Pony02

They did fly today but one of them almost returned immediatly,but the other one (15-30)flew a mission for 2 hours!

Also on the platform early today was Dutch F-16AM J-142. I didn't see this one take off, but it wasn't present anymore when we left.
Confirmation on the last AV-8 would be very nice indeed!!

Actually this one has a 13 sq badge on the tail. Apart from that a perfect log, like always!

Yesterday was a foggy day, but a mission was finally flown although a bit late.. I guess it was the resistant fog.

For me it was the first time at Florennes, and next time will see better weather I hope.

There was a ground abort of a Dutch F-16AM and also one of the HH-3Fs made a very short mission.

Full log can be seen at http://www.florennes-as.be" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

Pictures, although nog great because of the terrible weather, will soon be posted on the photo forum.

The J-142 had a ground abort just before takeoff. Later it was towed away to a hangar.

This morning the weather forecast looked quite promising, so I drove down to Florennes. Day started cloudy, but more and more blue sky became visible. TLP mission departed between 12:15 and 12:55. All aircraft were back by 14:00.

Two transports to start with:
MM61293/46-59 C-130J-30 AMI / 50 Gruppo I-2184 arrived approx. 11:00, departed 12:00

One Italian Tornado and one Aviano F-16 were left behind, as well as the third German Tornado. Did not see the HH-3F's, so I guess they departed early as planned.
