Being more precise, if everything will go as planned, expect them landing between 16.00 and 17.00lt. Subject to change as Joost allways says.

thxs guys. I saw the arrivaldate posted as tuesday but that was posted a 1 week ago. I hoped that more detailed info was available by now.

[Oscar01]

Info is still the same and will not change, unless the go tech or wx is ==censored== on tuesday. So asking every week is not necessary....

Eta first 6 16.15 local and second 6 16.45. But on such a long flight they might make up some time.... so between 15.30 and 17.00...

Waarom hebben ze het verboden gebied rondom kop 09 verder uitgebreid? Laatste jaren was het niet erg druk daar.

[Pássaro de Ferro]

As it seems that the upcoming week equipment is brought to Leeuwarden does this mean that 12 "JZ" F-15's wil arrive somewere after the 20st of March? Frisian Flag starts on the 27th of March.

And will some F-15's stay at Iceland? Just like last year? Or will Leeuwarden see all 12 of them?

Just curious.

I'd guess not, since Italian Typhoons just started patrolling the air space there.

Does any of you guys know if there's any spotting day foreseen for the Frisian Flag 2017?
Cheers

Spottersday only for some Dutch spotting groups (AGL & KnvOL), so you have to photograph from the outside

Thx

Opvallender vind ik het aan de oostkant van het veld, je mag blijkbaar bij kop 27 het oude spoortracé niet eens meer op. Je kunt je afvragen van wie het spoortracé is en wie er last van heeft dat er mensen staan en voor een trein hoef je (helaas) niet meer bang te zijn sinds het laatste vervoer in 1998 stopte (aardappelen vanaf Stiens).
