Frisian Flag 2018

[Arjenp]

Great aircrafts selection this year... but:
mig-29 and A-4 will be in LWD or in wittmund??

They will fly from Wittmund

Leeuwarden says (in Dutch) that the Mig's will be at LWD here as I understand it but the conversation (thereafter) is a bit confusing

They will fly from Wittmund

Leeuwarden says (in Dutch) that the Mig's will be at LWD here as I understand it but the conversation (thereafter) is a bit confusing

So final conclusion is everything from Leeuwarden and only the A4's from Wittmund (i presume the guy who told me Mig29 from Wittmund was a bit confused)

[jp 74]

Everything exept the A4's fly from Leeuwarden.
The Mig's are Polish.

No problem with flying from different airbases, Briefing can be done by videolink and in the sky they use air traffic controllers to keep them apart

I thought they did this in the past with the F-15s from Lakenheath. One of the lessons learnt was that it didn't work.

There are plenty of exercises with operations from different airbases so it should work, like ACE in Norway/Finland/Sweden and JAWTEX in Germany.
But in the past we had TFW exercises in Denmark from 4 or 5 airbases and that was in the pre digital era

I probably overlooked this info, but what is expected to be the arrival day(s) for the participants and their support?

[wweasel]

Thursday april 5th and Friday april 6 most of the participants will arrive. The US Eagles ca.1 week before.

[roberto]

During a nice briefing by the PRO of Leeuwarden we heard that we will see also Polish F16's at Leeuwarden.
And at the same time as FF18 there will be an EART18 from Eindhoven with several tankers.

Only 8 Rafale i believe and NO BAF F16.
3x Polish Mig29 and i presume 6x EF18 like in 2015.
And also a DA20 will participate, but i presume this one is from COBHAM like always

[FP24]

And 6 EF2000 from Wittmund.

German EF2000's will be from TLG71 only, so no TLG31 aircraft.
