Does anybody happen to know if Eagles will be flying tomorrow?
You might think "why not", but as Eagles did not fly last Friday and the tanker departed to Mildenhall I suspect some (if not all) airmen of the deployment being away for a long weekend or possibly changing crews over the weekend?

Re: EHLW 18-04-2017
It is neither a public holiday in the Netherlands nor in the USA, and with even based F-16s flying on God Friday not a sufficiant explanation for "no show" of F-15s that day. But thanks for at least one reply within just a few minutes!Bennie wrote:

Re: EHLW 18-04-2017
Still..... You have to admit it would be strange. A document saying public holidays, and F-16's flying? It's a contradiction!

True, unless a NOTAM was issued that the base would be open despite the public holiday....Alpha Kilo One wrote:Still..... You have to admit it would be strange. A document saying public holidays, and F-16's flying? It's a contradiction!

KC-135 was unrelated to long eastern weekend. It was there in support of two eagles who did some cable tests at the Azores on Wednesday.

Re: EHLW 18-04-2017
Some new "life" to a topic which seems to include more social talk than 18-04 related movements.
C-130H-30 G-275
F-16AM FA-97
F-16BM FB-23
F-16BM ET-022
F-16AM 664
F-16AM
Presumably related to upcoming FWIT.

The missing Norwegian F-16AM is 668.
Furthermore, F-15C 85-0096 made an emergency landing on runway 27 (although runway 05 was in use all day). It caught the cable and blocked both runways for almost half an hour as it came to a standstill at/close to the runway crossing.

And not forget 8 Eagles in the morning and 6 in the afternoon
Re: EHLW 18-04-2017
The Foreign F16's that arrived this day were not related to FWIT but are doing testflights together with the J-066, so probably to do with some MLU upgrade
