Post by Stefan »

Hi,

Four Dutch, but ex-Tucson F-16s are expected to arrive this day. Probably during the evening when the base is open:
M1515/11 -
ADDN OPR HRS 1715-1930.
07 SEP 17:15 2011 UNTIL 07 SEP 19:30 2011.
CREATED: 30AUG 11:06 2011
The a/c might still be carrying their AZ/US markings on arrival.

This what I heard, so no fact yet!

Being on field when the "Chilean" falcons left, I already heard this message, with the following additions;
What I understood was when all falcons moved from Springfield, Ohio to Tucson, Arizona, they all changed there "colors", except for a view that didn't got the new AZ-codes and stripes.
It's unclear why this was, it could be that these "clean" F-16s are the ones that will return to Volkel, furthermore these returning F-16's should be put in storage, so probably no flying for these falcons anymore.

From what I have heard is that the unit at Tucson was planned to continue with 10 falcons. So that four falcons will return.

regarding http://www.sgvolkel.nl it looks like there is a problem with the tanker, so they didn't expect them to arrive at the 07th or 08th. can anyone confirm this?! Also the Notam for the additional times is cancelled, so it definitely looks like they're not coming in the next days!
