Very frustrating indeed....

A few changes took place today. EF-18 C.15-46/12-04 arrived, and was put on the flightline together with already present 12-23. No sign of 12-03 that had flown a mission yesterday!
Tonka 43+72 left, probably going home, and was replaced soon after by 44+80 of AG51.
Also arrived early in the morning was an Italian F-16B, no id known unfortunately.
Around 11-ish Polish Viper 4055 was put in the hangar (on the left hand side), just a bit earlier a German Tonka did the same. Did someone read this one off please?

To recap: on the flightline were:
-2x Mir.2000
-2X Mirage F.1
-2x AMX (one with special tail)
-5x F-16A Italy
-1x F-16B Italy
-2x EF-18 (12-04, 12-23)
-5x Tornado (oa 44+80)
-4x F-4F (oa 38+44)
-3x F-15 (306, 331, 602)

i saw 5 Tornado's on the left side off the Phantoms, who has read them today(28-01-2009)

Thanks for the log, that confirms some of the aircraft we saw on the line last Tuesday, when the mission was cancelled. One problem is the French Mirage F.1 260/30-QB, this has not been reported before. Someone who knows wehn this arrived? And how many F.1's were present, two or three?
Did you id aircraft that were left behind on the flightline by the way?

(notes: as a number of changed and “new” aircraft were present at Florennes in connection with the current TLP flying course, I undertook another journey to Belgium. As forecasted, weather conditions in whole Belgium were extraordinary good and the TLP mass-launch and recoveries of more than 20 partcipating aircraft could be enjoyed in brilliant sunshine. Luckily, all “new” aircraft for me where also flying – the third Polish F-16, two additional F-4Fs and two new Italian F-16s, two changed Tornados and another Mirage F.1. A visiting Spanish C-130 was very welcome too, while flying of five based F-16s was on the more usual side. A little nice add-on was the return of five fully equipped F-16s - including two recce-equipped examples – from exercise “Deployed Falcon” at Beauvechain. What a day!)

Patrick, according to Mysteryship, the new Colmar F1 arrived Wednesday ( FAF 7741, Colmar RC01.030 Mirage F1CT ).
I compiled my log from my digital camera, I did not log the platform.

GREAT LOG !

Did somebody read of the a/c stayed behind on the ramp after the TLP launch ?

I've read some myself : 4082, 37+65, 38+74, 91-0602/LN but I'm missing the GAF Tornado and the AMI F-16 ... thx in advance.

Also we saw the FB24 (nmks) and a SF-260 (ID ??)

[Ergo01]

Today main movements:
Departure of F4 3874
Departure of two AMI F16s (Veltros)
Arrival & departure of Casa 012 of Poland
Departure of three Polish F16s
Arrival of AMI C130 (support for), two AB212 (landing on 08R, so no good pics- visible was tiger striping on one).
Full TLP mission was flown.

Thanks for that! I guess that makes it safe to say 243 and 273 were parked on the flightline on Tuesday then.
